Weekend Getaway: Denver and Beyond Part 2

If you are in Boulder, Lucile’s should be your first stop. Fuel up on the home made beignets, biscuits and apple butter. YUMMY!

Walk off an eighth of the calories consumed at nearby Pearl street. If you visit in early Spring you’ll be greeted with all the beautiful tulips in bloom.

Don’t exert all your energy shopping though. Less than four miles away is Chautauqua. If you are feeling adventurous, you may be able to hike off the rest of your caloric intake from breakfast.

A short drive from Boulder is Louisville. You’ll arrive just in time for Happy Hour at the Empire Lounge.

The calamari salad is an absolute must! But check out the rest of that menu…if I didn’t think I’d be judged, I would have ordered one of everything!

One block north of the Empire Lounge is the Fuzzy Antler. Are you sensing a theme here? Eat. Shop. Repeat.

This is a great home decor shop with everything from tabletop to the most beautiful table linens, to locally hand made jewelry.

Rach and I also stopped over at Lafayette. We were running out of time but decided to return the next day for a jaunt at the Flea Market. I found some great linen napkins. My eyes were also set on vintage irons but my carry-on did not allow for it. Such a rookie move…I really should know better than to over pack and not leave room for all my found treasures.

This wraps up my tips for Denver and beyond. I’ll be posting some Baby Love at the end of the week so make sure to check back!

Weekend Getaway: Denver and Beyond

This past weekend I was lucky enough to spend some girl time with a couple of my besties and their families in Denver. Rachel and I spent the day in nearby Boulder, Louisville and Lafayette. I was also able to photograph Robin’s miracle baby and will be posting some baby love later this week!

Here’s my guide to Denver. First stop: Snooze for brunch. Must have the Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes.

That’s Rach. Isn’t she adorbs?

dBar is also a must. Although known for their desserts, lunch was absolutely divine at Keegan Gerhard & Lisa Bailey’s culinary sanctuary. I had the Southernfried waffle. Yup, chicken and waffles never tasted or looked so blissful.

And we couldn’t leave without dessert. Molten cake with valrhona manjari 64% chocolate, summer cherries, and sicilian pistachio ice cream. WOW. WOW. WOW.

We rounded off our culinary experience in Denver at Steuben’s for dinner.

Talk about a local hang out. Our wait was 45mins and well worth every second. I had the lobster roll with some of the most delicious fries ever. Follow up dinner with the wacky apples. It will make you feel like you’ve entered heaven.

What’s food without shopping? I’ll round out my visit to Denver with some great hotspots in Boulder, Louisville and Lafayette in the next couple of days!
