ALAN EBAN BROWN, AIA, LLC
5
Community based architecture with ecological, social, human and financial characteristics at its core. Online at http://www.aebarchitects.com
Tattered Cover Book Store
4.25
All Colorado book-lovers know where to go to find the book they can't find elsewhere: The Tattered Cover. With multiple stories ;-) of multiple nooks of multiple shelves towering to the ceiling, it's a labyrinth of delicious thoughts, knowledge, and novels on nearly any subject you care to illuminate yourself. Even better, cozy chairs and sofas are strewn throughout to allow customers to curl up and enjoy some pages before making their selections. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere warm and inviting.
City O City
3.5
This great little cafe took the place of Watercourse Foods when they moved to their new location. (and owned by the same folks) It's dark and often the music is too loud, but I love hanging out at City o City. The menu, featuring vegetarian options like pizza, salads and sandwiches, is quite tasty, and the servers are lovely. Great place to hang out with coffee and cookies or vegetarian buffalo seitan and a beer.
