I don't know if it's just Denver or everywhere nowadays, but people do love their dogs in the Mile High City.

Max and Garbarini boutiques bring designers to Denver

Oh, so exciting! I just saw this article in the Denver Post and have to share. Two of my favorite Denver shops, which are of course included in my Moon Denver guidebook, are celebrating big anniversaries this spring and celebrating well, in style! Both Max and Garbarini in Cherry Creek North will have big name designers in their stores. Nicole Miller, Donal Pliner and, goosebumps, Diane Von Furstenberg maybe. Wow! Note to self: earn a lot of shopping money fast.

Boulder is #1

I included Boulder in the Excursions chapter of my Moon Denver guidebook and it is the town where I grew up. According to a Gallup "well-being" poll, Boulder just happens to be the #1 city in the country for happiness. I love that. Colorado ranks at #7 overall among states. Read more about the poll in this Denver Post article:

bye-bye Chez Jose

Another favorite place in Denver's Cherry Creek neighborhood is going out of business in 2009...this time it's restaurant Chez Jose, which I wrote about on page 62 of my Moon Denver guidebook. I read about it in the Denver Post this morning:
