Rackhouse has fab food, excellent views, and loads of printing press decor salvaged from the Bindery next door. And it's home to Bierstadt Lagerhaus and C Squared Ciders. Best of all, it's 2.5 blocks from my loft. What's not to love? (Order the Alma cider and the mac and cheese. It'll bring a smile to your face.)

If you're from outside Colorado, you're probably thrown by the idea of a Colorado winery. What's really going to knock you over is the fact that many of their wines are on tap and in cans. Big, sprawling space. Excellent patio. And some good wines. (Not great. I'm not going to lie. But pretty good nonetheless.)

I've been several times, always on bicycle. Take the Greenway Trail along the Platte River.

Makes for a lovely afternoon outing. (You can drive there too. But biking is such fun!) balistreriwine.com/

It's really lovely. And the size of my pinky finger. It used to be the hands-down best place in Denver to take out of towners, but it has gotten more mainstream over the past 5 years or so.

Parks & Nature

Go for a concert -- any concert -- at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater. Go to Film on the Rocks. Run the stairs in the morning (it's quite the workout). Or walk around and snap 100 pictures. Don't leave Denver without going to Red Rocks. If you're not seeing a concert there, consider spending the morning at Red Rocks. Walk the 1.4-mile Trading Post Trail loop and make sure you’re at the top of the amphitheater’s 70 rows by 2pm (when it often closes on event days). Take in the views. www.redrocksonline.com

It's super close, and the hike is fairly short and beautiful. Watch people rock climb as you take the trail to the Continental Divide. Make a 10-minute detour along the way to walk up to the train tracks. Eldorado Canyon is about 25 minutes from Denver. Makes for a lovely morning or afternoon. Before (or after), head to the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder for a meal. Really great day.

Stop by My Brother's Bar, the only bar still operating that was once frequented by Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, and all the rest of the Beats (order a hamburger and beer -- it's pretty much required). Spend the afternoon at Elitch Gardens Theme & Water Park, the Downtown Aquarium, the Children's Museum of Denver, or Sports Authority Field at Mile High -- nearby on the bike path.

Beautiful trail. Well maintained. Bike past the REI near downtown to Cherry Creek (or all the way down to Parker if you're so inclined -- you can always take light rail back to Denver with your bike in tow). It's a lovely way to spend a morning or afternoon. And mostly flat. I've ridden the trail a couple hundred times, and I always enjoy it.

Beautiful trail. Well maintained. Bike past the REI near downtown to Cherry Creek (or all the way down to Parker if you're so inclined -- you can always take light rail back to Denver with your bike in tow). It's a lovely way to spend a morning or afternoon. And mostly flat. I've ridden the trail a couple hundred times, and I always enjoy it.
