For dining you might enjoy Linger. It’s a tapas place, sort of. I can highly recommend it. [http://lingerdenver.com/](http://lingerdenver.com/) Another favorite spot is Tattered Cover. Great book store and at the end of a street with a lot more to see and do. Sorry I can’t seem to get the link to their website on here. Good luck and enjoy the trip. ---

That sounds really nice. And not that far! ---

> [@fachverwirrt](#): > > Hello Dope. > > This coming weekend my wife and I will be in Denver. We’re flying in Friday night and leaving Tuesday morning. Elitch Gardens isn’t open yet and I’ve been to Denver before -------- so my suggestion would be a couple bottles of Jack and just staying in your room. ---

Hwy 6 to 119 out of Golden will take you to Central City and Black Hawk. Please see a map first. 119 is a very cool drive if you like canyons and tunnels. Black Hawk became more modern when gambling was legalized and tore down a lot of old buildings. Parking there I’m sure would be better. Central City converted their old buildings to gambling. Kinda cool too. Probably not much ski traffic on 119. ---

Not from Denver but I’ve been there. If you’re willing to take a 45 minute drive and like outstanding beer I strongly recommend you go visit the The Tasty Weasel Taproom inside the Oskar Blues Brewery in Longmont.
