I was recently invited to sample some new items off the re-vamped Lunch and Happy Hour menus at SOL Mexican Cocina in Cherry Creek. Please note: Financial compensation was not received for this post.

As you may be aware, I love ramen and I’m on the hunt for the Best Ramen in Denver. Some of my absolute favorite ramen places in the world are in my hometown of New York City, but I’m determined to find the number one spot in Denver that might rival some of the great […]
Last Sunday morning, at the urging of co-workers and bosses, around 4:30 am we left Denver, CO (and like millions of other Americans) with a car packed with camping gear and some eclipse glasses and headed towards the path of totality for the Great American Solar Eclipse on August 21, 2017!

Last Thursday was the stuff dreams were made of, the 4th annual Top Taco in Denver, located at the RiNo Festival Grounds.
