Great breakfast joint. Not much to look at, but a Jewish family runs it, and it's a Denver institution. Diners Drive-Ins and Dives did a show here. Not just a deli -- they serve full meals.

One of my favorite close hiking locations is Boulder's Chatauqua Park. My favorite trail is the 1st/2nd Flatiron trail, but the Royal Arch trail is a beautiful challenge. Shop on Pearl Street after!
