What I Love ABOUT ME

The student and thrift-store connoisseur shares her favorite spots in the Mile High City. Cool digs: Centrally located Hotel Teatro (hotel teatro.com) is a great place to stay. It offers a Red Rocks Rock package that includes a tour of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame and complimentary transportation to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Good eats: For delicious wood-oven pizza and fresh oysters, stop by Cart-Driver (cart-driver.com). The clam pie is a must, and so is the house-made hot sauce! Retail therapy: Mid-century modern home goods and boho-chic vintage apparel come together at the supercool Meek Vintage shop (shopmeekco.com). Spa haven: “Treat Yo Self” is the slogan at Base Coat nail salon (basecoatnailsalon.com)—and what a treat it is. Indulge in a pedicure featuring a sugar scrub and massage with oils by local apothecary Fig + Yarrow. Night out: Travel to another era at Nocturne (nocturnejazz.com). The live jazz and classic decor will make you feel like you’re a character in The Great Gatsby.
