The Denver Milk Market (aka Dairy Block) is Downtown Denver's newest food and dining hall. From their website: At Denver Milk Market we believe in magical thinking. Food itself is a form of good magic, wouldn’t you say? From the intention that goes into stirring, rolling, seasoning and serving, to the grateful acceptance of a good meal, and the communion that happens among friends and family over a table and a glass well filled. Food is a blessing, and we want to share a variety of blessings with you–whether you call it luck or blessings, charms or well-wishing. We believe the more happiness you seed, the more happiness you sow, and we are all about spreading love and happiness."
