Sunnyside
This is your neighborhood during your stay. There are multiple coffee shops nearby, Cherry Bean if you're feeling like working is a quiet shop only a block away. Radiator coffee shop if you're feeling a bit more social. A great setting with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating.
44th Avenue is the center of Sunnyside and a short walk away. I highly recommend El Jefe for farm to table Mexican and Bacon Social House for brunch. If you're staying in for the night consider getting a charcuterie board at So Damn Gouda!
Walkable from your Air Bnb 2 blocks south and you'll be in Lohi! The heart of Lohi is 32-33/Tejon. So many great restaurants, coffee shops and bars. Some recommendations are El Five to get the best view of Denver (reservations recommended but seating at the bar is very good), Truffle Table Wine bar is a block away with an amazing wine, meat and cheese menu. Other great spots are Mizu Izakaye Sushi, a great place for sushi in a beautiful setting. As well as Happy Camper, Spuntino, Ash'Kara, Root Down, and Green Collective Eatery.

This is Denver's city center and the heart of this area is Union Station. People watch in the beautiful terminal or go have a cocktail at the Crawford Hotel. Across the street is Machete if you're interested in great tacos, queso and margaritas. Other recommendations for nearby restaurants are Tavernetta Italian and Citizen Rail.
Pepsi Center for hockey, basketball and concerts, Coors Field for Colorado Rockies baseball and also concerts, Elitch Gardens Amusement Park. I highly recommend Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. The Cruise Room is another great spot for a cocktail and a history lesson because it has been around since the days of Prohibition.

The Denver Weather
The weather here is notoriously unpredictable. At any point in the year you can experience all 4 seasons in one day. We get lots of sunshine but once the sun goes down it can get chilly. When you pack, plan for anything with layers and always bring a little jacket. When you venture out bring an extra layer for evening or surprises...or just live on the edge!
