Sightseeing

Hours can be spent exploring this handcrafted "sculptural theatre". A gritty miniature city (3000 square feet created at 1:6th scale) is filled with characters frozen in time. The residents of Magic Town are a mix shady characters, scantily clad women, Bronco fans, teachers and children. Walk like a giant through this seedy old town and marvel at alleys carved out of optical illusions. Wait to hear the tale a hologram has to tell. Call attention to rooms that transform before your eyes. Peek in the little windows, curtains undrawn, and feel curiosity reveal voyeuristic delight

Neighborhoods

Hidden Gems and Local Faves El Chapultapec Opened in 1933, after the repeal of prohibition this jazz cantina is still known for it's live music. It was once the watering hole of Jack Kerouak. His regular booth sits to the right of the door just when you enter. The food is pretty dismal but the nightly live blues will keep your booty shaking on this small low key dance floor. Lake Steam Baths Not much to look at from the outside, this old Russian bathhouse is relaxing, no suit needed but your birthday suit, and reasonably priced. $20 for entry, $12 scrubs, $35 for a massage. Lakeside Fondly tagged as the amusement park "where the fear is real" a beautiful, if not rundown, park beautiful gardens and classic rides that overlooks the lake and mountain sunset. $17-26 for gate admission, unlimited rides and parking. The Buckhorn Exchange Denver's original steak house and first liquor license. This National Historic Landmark and Western Museum has been serving the finest Old West game and spirits since 1893. Amazing happy hour. My Brother's Bar Oldest bar continuous watering hole in Denver. Despite changing hands over the last century and a half it has filled glasses from the pioneers to the hipsters. Mercury Cafe 30 years of eccentric people, organic local food, wind and solar powered, poetry slam on Sunday night, live music and Denver's center for Swing and Blues dancing with a $5 cover.  A one of a kind experience. Last I checked they did not accept credit cards. Pete's Kitchen Denver's oldest and original diner, urban legend rumors this fast paced classic to be owned by the Greek Mafia. The Market One of the oldest European style cafe's in Denver with an incredible dessert selection.   St Marks and the Thin Man St. Marks is a bustling cafe with a big back patio that is connected by ownership and location to a cozy bar called the Thin Man.  Licks Original ice-cream shop in Denver.  Swifts Classic old Denver diner feel and cheap diner food. Finally started accepting credit cards last year. ~$5-10 Denver Diner Burned down two years ago, remodeled but has that same feels as it did 30 yeas ago, but cleaner. Now serves cocktails till 10pm. ~$10-20 Domo Traditional country Japanese food. Lots of history including a small museum, an Akido dojo and Japanese gardens. Lunch $12-15, dinner $25-30 Wax Trax Located on Denver's old punk lane, this is one of the few surviving record stores left. Discover the character embedded in this original.
