Denver's Hip Hangout of the Day!

Blah Blah Blah, Gillian Loves Denver, everyone knows this. BUT bear with me, because as most of you know I really love finding little unique things about my city, and today My mom and I went to two of what will quickly become my favorite places in North Denver

The first is The Oriental Theater. It was this theater built in 1927 in Denver that used to be the hip spot to see a movie. Long story short, it went through alot of rough times, closed as a theater but was reopened as a concert venue recently. It's very awesome inside with lots of Mediterranean details. AND On top of that, MELTZ is located inside and serves food during concerts. Meltz is a gourmet grilled cheese restaurant. A what? A gourmet grilled cheese restaurant. They have some pretty awesome things there. You can make your own grilled cheese and choose from all these different types of cheeses and breads and what not, or choose something from their menu. My mom and I split a PBA & B (Peanut Butter, Apple, and Brie Sandwich) It was pretty amazing. It was perhaps the most unique restaurant I've been to. But it was good! And good prices too. So if you ever find yourself in Denver...Call me! And we'll go out for some trendy grilled cheese sandwiches and maybe catch a concert afterwards.






Secondly, We also all know how addicted to coffee I am, so anytime I can find a good new coffee shop, I get excited. So today, after my mom and I split our PBA & B, we found Tenn Street Coffee, a coffee shop/bookstore Here's what's nice about Tenn Street

1) They serve Daz Bog Coffee which is by far my favorite coffee roasting company, and they are (naturally) based out of Denver, though obviously a Russian roasting company. They're amazingAMAZING.
2) They have books. Lots of books. Half the store is dedicated to the Library. Most of the books are used so you can come in and make a trade or buy a used book for about half the cost.
3) As with any good coffee shop, Wi-fi is a must so that I can enjoy my coffee and relax. And rather than just having free wi-fi, they also have computer work stations, so if you don't have a laptop, you can hop on one of their computers for free. I think that's very nice of them.




So that's about it. Those were my two awesome Denver finds of the day. Dare I say it once more? Ok, I will. I love my city!
