Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
There are many hot restaurant neighborhoods in Denver — including RiNo, home of Hop Alley, our Best New Restaurant in 2016 — but this is definitely Berkeley's year, and we named that part of northwest Denver Best New Restaurant Neighborhood in the Best of Denver 2016. The repairs to Tennyson Street are finally done, and new places are popping up all over the area — and all the way down to the Platte, through Highland (or the Highlands, depending on what map you use), Sunnyside, Jefferson Park and LoHi. In fact, our list of the Ten Best Restaurants to open in 2015 (and thus be considered for top honors in the Best of Denver 2016) featured a number of spots in the northwest part of town. Notes Robert:
And, once again, half are in Highland. I love my 'hood!
Responds Daniel:
Way too many North Denver places on your list...It is not Highlands...It is North Denver...and we are still a dump......
No matter what you call it, there's no denying that northwest Denver is changing. What do you think of the restaurants there? The rest of the changes?
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
