Buffalo, NY -> Boston, MA -> Denver, CO
It's that time of the year again where I make my journey across the border to my favourite state in the United States of America, Colorado.
I was able to make my way back up to Denver to visit some old friends. It may have been a short day but I was able to enjoy the time spent there.
Over the years I've been fortunate to receive recommendations to try some fantastic restaurants.
First and foremost is Illegal Pete's. It's hard for me to find anything to say about Illegal Pete's other than it is absolute perfection. Easily the best burrito I have ever had (and continue to have every time I visit). The downtown location on the 16th Street mall in Denver will always be my favourite.
The other restaurant I wanted to share is City O' City on the corner of 13th Ave and Sherman Street. There is no other place I can compare City 'O to as it has such a homely feeling once you enter and such a wonderfully diverse menu of vegetarian and vegan dishes.
The entire purpose of my trips to Colorado is normally to visit my friends who live out there, but it would never be a successful trip if I didn't make it out into the mountains. This time I was able to get out to see Eleven Mile State Park which is host to some of the most beautiful views I have ever seen.
Two weeks is never enough. I'm never able to complete everything I want to do when I am visiting but I know that I'll be back again soon.
