What’s Going On? Denver, Colorado, Cheering the Ravens?, Denver Convention Center, Denver Art Museum, Looking for Latin Food?, Cuba Cuba Cafe & Bar
Visiting Denver at the end of the summer was great. The weather was perfect and the City was so clean and accessible.
18 degrees in Denver? I think I like it like that….for the Ravens!! So, regardless of the outcome, if you are in Denver this week-end, a few places I have visited and thought you might be interested are:
Denver Convention Center – If you are visiting from the East Coast, you know how much we like boats, the water and all those water sports. Well, the Premier Boat show in the Rocky Mountain Region is at the Denver Convention Center until Sunday 1/13. The Convention Center was opened in 1990 and it is within walking distance to hotels, art museums, shops and restaurants.
It is so easy to find, located at 700 14th St. But, if you see the Big Blue Bear, then, you know you have reached your destination. This Big Blue Bear is peering inside the Denver Convention Center; almost like wanting to see what’s going on. It is 40 feet tall….”I See What You Mean”…More info? Please visit http://www.denverconventioncenter.com.
Denver Art Museum – The Museum is also in Downtown Denver, located at 100 W 14th St. It is a very friendly museum. There are so many exhibits taking place at the present time….and some very exciting ones coming up.
Until Sunday, 1/13: Dana Schutz: If The Face Had Wheels.
Mud to Masterpieces: Mexican Colonial Ceramics until 1/17
Becoming Van Gogh until 1/20.

Looking for some Latin cuisine in Denver? Cuba Cuba has been hailed as one of the best, if not the best. It is located at 1173 Delaware St. Tel. 303-605-2822. Website? http://www.cubacubacafe.com. Cuba Cuba opened its doors in 2001.
Mojito Happy Hour is Monday through Thursday from 5 p.m. until 6:15 p.m. And, I do have to say that they offer gluten free options for those with gluten allergies and sensitivities.
So, if you are longing for some Mariquitas, Fried Yuca, and Ropa Vieja….then, by all means stop by.
