where to go in Denver and feel like you're somewhere else part 2

 All week I have been thinking of things to add to this list. I'm trying to avoid ethnic restaurants because, of course, you feel elsewhere, unless it's Sushi Den, which definitely feels like South Pearl. So help me out people.

 The first addition has to be Sante Fe Avenue

Next is Dazzle Jazz














Next would be Wax Trax

 I'm ambivalent about this next place. As I try to recall if I'd ever actually heard of Nathaniel Radcliffe and the Night Sweats before they showed up on TV, Twist-and-Shout was booking them for an in-house performance. Yes, it's an institution that needs to be preserved, the record store, but unlike Wax Trax, Twist-and-Shout tends to take itself too seriously some times. Having said that, I will continue to support independent record stores in Denver: Mutiny, Black and Red, Wax Trax and I'm not sure what else matters'








Welcome to Black & Read!



Tattered Cover - of course - Like being in London

Even though, supposedly, Anonymous dissed them a few days ago for their homeless policy.

    1. A Comment!!!! Thanks Chris. Remember the Nisei VFW across from El Chapultepec? They had the freshest sushi.
      Do you know any other places that are worthy of "other where" status? BTW, my son tried fencing at the same place you go to. He didn't fare well and gave up but I loved taking him there.
