THE CITY

Visit Denver

In the wake of the California Gold Rush,

prospectors hoped to strike their own reserve of

wealth and riches in the streams of the Rocky

Mountains and the South Platte River. Today

citizens of Denver have riches worth far more

than precious metal. They have a prosperous city

inlaid in horizons of prairie elds and the mighty

Rockies mountainside.

As a part of America’s pioneering history, Denver

is riddled with historical elements. The Colorado

Railroad Museum showcases the city’s tenacity

in constructing an entirely citizen-built rail

system, which connected Denver to the

transcontinental railroad. Remnants of the Wild

West can be found in areas like the Bualo Bill

Museum and Grave, allowing visitors to step into

the Old Western lifestyle. Other landmarks of

esteem include the world’s largest single

producer of coins, the Denver Mint.

Laden with parks, trails, gardens, museums, and

districts, Denver is a tributary of its citizens.

Taking an active interest and pride in their city’s

evolution, Denverites even approved a sales tax

in 1988 that would go to maintaining Denver’s

cultural and scientic facilities—a tax still

implemented today. Don’t be fooled, though, for

the city knows how to relax and show its citizens

and visitors a good time. This is evidenced by

Denver being the largest brewer of beer in the

country.

Mercantile dining & provision

DETAILS Mercantile

dining & provision is the

culmination of Chef Alex

Seidel’s two previous

ventures, Fruition

Restaurant and Fruition

Farms. In 2009, driven by a desire to learn more

about food sourcing and production, Chef Seidel

partnered with then-Sous Chef at Fruition

Restaurant, Jimmy Warren, to purchase a

10-acre farm outside of Denver. Shortly

thereafter, Fruition Farms oicially opened,

becoming Colorado’s rst artisanal sheep’s milk

creamery.

Mercantile dining & provision represents the

next evolution in Chef Seidel’s philosophy on

approachability and transparency in dining.

Beyond the seasonally-inspired fare served in a

casual atmosphere and the marketplace oering

artisanal goods, many of which are used in the

restaurant, Mercantile helps bridge the

information gap between farmer and consumer.

In connecting the dots, we want to instill in our

guests the appreciation we have for how much

eort went into producing each meal and how

many hands were involved each step along the

way. We hope this inspires our guests to go

home and recreate for themselves some of the

things they tasted in the restaurant.

Best Time to Visit

Denver sits conveniently

en route to the slopes of

the Rocky Mountains,

which makes it a

must-visit for those

making their way there

during the winter. There is a multitude of events

going on around Christmas time, which is an

added incentive.

For city exploration, the summers are best, with

warm, yet not uncomfortable hot temperatures.
