Summary: "Looking at my own city"

As a longtime Denver journalist and resident it's always interesting to see how your city comes across in a guidebook. I can say Mindy Sink has done an excellent job of capturing Denver (and beyond). Not only does she do a thorough review of places, but adds some nice insights, from the best way to tour the River North arts district, to the trademark team -- "The Broncos have just not been the same since quarterback John Elway retired" (sorry Broncos fans). As a journalist, Sink's book is also a good resource for new ideas and to double check my own knowledge base. An integral part of Denver is its nearby mountain getaways, and Sink does a great job of including them too. Whether a visitor or resident, this book will add to your experience in town.

Summary: "A must have if you travel to Denver or live here"

This book is a fabulous resource - whether you're just travelling through town or if you live here. I found many places I hadn't heard of or considered when using this book.

In this recessed economy, it's a fabulous resource to find less expensive but palatable new restaurants and places to take out of town guests.

Her little historic notations also make the book interesting and educational!
