This has been a short list of places to eat in Denver and other places in Colorado when you here visiting. As a last thought. Denver is becoming a major player in the food industry, so if you are feeling adventurous; pick a hole in the wall or do a Google search for new restaurants in Colorado. I am a native and have still been finding great new places everyday.

Hope this short list of places will give you some great choices when it comes to the Denver munchie scene.
