Tennyson St between 38th and 46th has a whole slew of mom-and-pop shops, plus Call To Arms - the brewery where we had our first date. Other notable spots on Tennyson include Hops & Pie (pizza and beer), Denver Biscuit Co (usually a long wait but killer breakfast), BookBar (a bookstore + wine bar), Biju's Little Curry Shop (South African fast casual), and Mas Kaos (pizza and tacos).

Food scene
As the name implies, it's a great central location to start exploring Denver, and only ~1mile away. Grab a coffee from Crema, a beer from the bar, a pastry from the baker, or a bite to eat from one of the multiple food stalls, then start walking the alleys around Denver Central Market to see all the street art.

The greatest BBQ you'll ever have (unless you've been to Franklin's in Austin, in which case Owlbear is a close 2nd). Open Thurs-Sun and only until they run out of food, which is usually ~2pm. Grab a beer from Our Mutual Friend brewery next door while you're at it.

Denver's most-instagrammed location... because it's shaped like a giant milk jug. Expect a long line, but the ice cream is well worth it.
