Monday mornings are tough, but this series isn't. Social Sightings is your quick look at interesting food tidbits that we've spotted recently. It goes down as easy as your first cup of coffee, and should whet your appetite for the week ahead.

Homegrown, family-owned chain Mici Handcrafted Italian was recently named one of the country's hottest startup fast-casuals by QSR magazine. But before Mici gets back to its big plans for growth (it has unit agreements for over fifty franchises), it's bringing back a beloved tradition: heart-shaped pizzas. Available from all of its locations, which include five outposts in the Denver area and two in Colorado Springs, any 16-inch pie can be made into a heart by request on Valentine's Day only.

Fellow Traveler
A man named Scott became the first guest to "perform" in the Solo Diner art installation at Fellow Traveler, a bar that opened recently in Englewood and serves a menu of vegan food. Ready for your moment in the spotlight? All you have to do is show up, ready to eat and drink alone while on display, in order to become a part of this performance art piece.

Urban Village Grill
Chef Charles Mani's Urban Village Grill at Park Meadows is now fully living up to its name, with the debut of outdoor grills meant to give the feel of a backyard barbecue. Meats, seafood and veggies come with your choice of Indian marinades. Indoors, Mani serves a more traditional menu of Indian specialties.
