9am: Grab a cup of joe and a breakfast sandwich at Hi Rise Bakery. We particularly like the Green, Eggs, and Ham! We think you will, too. If you happen to have a morning meeting, it’s a great place sit down and across from someone and get something done. Phone: 303-296-3656 Website: https://hirisedenver.com/

10am: One of the best Bloody Marys in the area. Head over to Snooze -- they make their bloody with extra, extra love. And what’s better than starting off a late morning with a little buzz? Phone: 303-297-0700 | Website: https://www.snoozeeatery.com/locations/ballpark/

11am: Head over to Mexico City for a margarita & famous fried tacos. A perfect follow up to the bloody mary. You’ll love the owner, Dave Muniz. Friendly, good food, and fun. Phone: 303-296-0563 | Website: http://www.mexicocitydenver.com/

12pm: Max Market. Get the Southwest Turkey sandwich. Awesome place. Delicious “real” food, fast. Excellent customer service, great variety of local gourmet foods as well as market essentials. Phone: 303-978-9530

4pm: Head over to the Museum of Contemporary Art -- take a peek at something weird, get inspired, and head upstairs for one of their amazing whiskey cocktails. Not a bad view either. Phone: 303-298-7554

9pm: Herb’s. Open since 1933, an unpretentious, beloved dive bar with live music 7 nights a week. Great bartenders, cheap drinks, & an awesome back patio. Phone: 303-299-9555 | Website

1am: Last stop (maybe?): Marquis Pizza. The closest thing to Brooklyn in Colorado. Huge $3 slices served up hot ‘til 3am. Phone: 303-292-2829 | Website
