The Bindery A N D M U C H M O R E!

from them is Berkeley Untapped, a great little bar with a fantastic owner.

A little further up the street is Feral Mountain Company, a boutique outdoors outfitter, and Spruce Men’s Clothier and styling shop. Both Feral and Spruce have very energetic, forward thinking owners.

Two of my favorite restaurants (and where you will likely find me if I’m not in my store) are El Chingon and Parisi.

Both restaurants do what they do better than anyone else and always welcome you as if you are family.

The block wouldn’t be complete without the iconic Oriental Theater. One of NW Denver’s staple venues, it is always producing fun and innovative shows from authors to classic to punk musicians; from community parties to large screen movies. There aren’t too many blocks in Denver that can boast this much locally owned, authentic variety and I feel so very lucky to be a part of it.”

Amy Cesario, Broker Associate at Slifer — Denver What’s your favorite holiday tradition? Taking time to be with family and having as many in one room as possible – Christmas Eve Dinner at my parents’ house is that special night that we all are together and present.

LoHi has a new go-to spot! The Bindery opened last month just down the road from Avanti, and they’re bringing both quality and convenience to the neighborhood. Inside, you’ll find a cozy, contemporary restaurant alongside a grab-and-go market and bakery, making them the latest arrival in Denver’s love of mixed-use spaces.

Name one thing we might not know about you. I love collecting Santa Clauses. I have hundreds of them from all over the world.

Inspired by European bakeries, artisinal markets, and neighborhood eateries from around the world, Chef Linda Hampsten Fox puts an elegant, carefully-crafted touch on traditional cuisine. Their dinner menu includes mouthwatering mains, like slow roasted lamb or clam and fennel sausage gnocchi, and their market is filled with quick takes on the classics. We, for one, can’t wait to try The Bindery Grilled Cheese, a grilled delight complete with goat gouda and sriracha. Can’t go wrong!

Local Insider: What are you currently inspired by in downtown Denver? The Coloradan. It offers the opportunity to help people buy a brand new condo in the heart of Denver.

What’s your go-to spot in Denver? Cherry Creek – We have so many new restaurants but I like going to places that have been there for years and knowing I can get the same pasta I did 7 years ago. Kind of comforting, like going to Grandmas.

Winter is here! What’s your favorite winter activity in/ around Denver? Having a glass of bourbon near the fire with friends, maybe bake a lasagna or make homemade pasta. I love Denver because the snow melts the next day!

You won’t find me outside enjoying winter activities unless the sun is out and it’s a 65+ degree day. I’ve never skied or done any outdoor winter sports and I’ve never had any desire to.

Bonus Question: What’s the best new restaurant/bar you’ve tried lately? I haven’t tried anything new lately, but I am excited to check out Izakaya Ronin, because I love Japanese Whiskey...

#M Y FAVOR ITEB LOCK Nicole Sullivan, Owner-Operator BookBar bookbardenver.com If you’ve never been to BookBar, put it on your list. Part bookstore, part wine bar, this gem on Tennyson Street is comfy and cozy, with that perfect neighborhood vibe. We caught up with BookBar’s owner, Nicole Sullivan, to get the inside scoop on her favorite block in Denver: “My favorite block is, naturally, the block where I spend most of my waking hours: Tennyson Street from 42nd to 44th. Two of my businesses are located there, BookBar and BookBed (our author and book lover B&B above the bookstore wine bar).

This block is full of a variety of locally owned businesses.

Directly across the street from us is Lalu, a creative arts studio. Right next door to Lalu is Real Baby. We collaborate with them on our monthly Real Baby story time where, you guessed it, we present a story time for babies and provide Real Baby coupons to attendees. Ooh Ahh Jewelry and Sarah O. Jewelry (both by the same owner) carries my favorite jewelry in Denver.

My go to lunch spot is Biju’s Little Curry Shop for a fast, healthy lunch when I can get out of my store.

This great new gallery just opened up called Tesoro Gallery.

They just moved up here from Santa Fe Art Disctrict. They have some fabulous art, home goods, and jewelry as well.

They often feature tea leaf readings, too! And right across

HER PAR I S — DENVER AR T MUSEUM Her Paris: Women Artists in the Age of Impressionism Denver Art Museum, now through January 14th, 2018 denverartmuseum.org The last half of the 19th century is known throughout the art world for the growth of the Impressionist Movement, with famous artists like Degas, Monet, and Renoir producing some of their greatest works during that period. But what often goes overlooked is the work of female artists who embraced the movement and, despite restrictive societal structures, produced some of impressionism’s most beautiful pieces.

Through next month, the Denver Art Museum is running a special exhibit featuring impressionist artwork created by Parisian women between 1850-1900. The exhibit includes works from artists like Mary Cassatt, Rose Bonheur, and Paula Modersohn-Becker, and provides a perfect opportunity to learn about a lesser-known side of art history.
