I Heart My City

I found this survey here. It was a project done a while ago through National Geographic. As most of you could probably guess, I love NatGeo. So I decided to fill this one out for D-town.




My City Questionnaire

Denver is My City

The first place I take a visitor from out of town is Rocky Mountain National Park.

When I crave the perfect burger I always go H Burger or My Brother's Bar.

To escape the super-packed bars I head to Forest Room 5.

If I want to eat sushi I go The (Sushi) Den.

For complete quiet, I can hide away in The Tattered Cover.

If you come to my city, get your picture taken with a bum on 16th St or the Big Blue Bear.

If you have to order one thing off the menu from H Burger it has to be Marshmallow Nutella shake...spiked.

Falling Rock is my one-stop shop for great beer, with over 105 choices you are bound to find something.

Locals know to skip 16th Street and check out the Highlands instead.

When I’m feeling cash-strapped I go to happy hour.

For a huge splurge I go to Cherry Creek.

Photo ops in my city include the Millennium Bridge, Denver Arts Museum, Red Rocks, and Mount Falcon and the best vantage points are Mount Falcon, Red Rocks, and my balcony.

If my city were a celebrity it’d be Cheech or Chong.

The most random thing about my city is the people.

He doesn't live there anymore, but this is not something I would put under 'unusual'

My city has the most ski bums and mountain men...hence Menver.

My city has the most athletic women, and cougars.

In my city, an active day outdoors is pretty much everyday.

My city’s best museum is most would say the Denver Art Museum...it's a touchy subject.

My favorite jogging/walking route is Commons Park or Wash Park.

For a night of dancing, go to the Church, Beta, or the Gin Mill depending on your mood. Or, for live music, check out RED ROCKS.
Red Rocks

Illegal Pete's or a road side burrito joint is the spot for late-night eats.

To find out what’s going on at night and on the weekends, read Westword.

You can tell a lot about my city from the smells: food, snow, and pot. Yelp! is helpful as well.

You can tell if someone is from my city if they own cowboy boots, a snowboard jacket, and a Tim Tebow jersey...or better yet, wear them at the same time.

In the spring you should be at Fado's for St. Patty's, Closing Weekends, and Opening Day @ Coors Field.

Playoffs

In the summer you should go to a rooftop, then see a game in the Rock Pile, then return to a rooftop, wake up the next day rock climb, then head to Jazz in the Park.

In the fall you should walk around The Confluence, go to the Great American Beer Festival, and go out for Denver Cruiser Rides end of the season.

In the winter you should hit the slopes, come back to Denver for Restaurant Week.

Backside of Vail

A hidden gem in my city is the Rodeo, although it isn't that hidden =).

For a great breakfast joint try Mona's or Snooze.

Don’t miss the Great American Beer Festival in September/October.

Just outside my city, you can visit the beautiful Rocky Mountains.

The best way to see my city is by bike.

If my city were a pet it would be a dog, everyone has one.

If I didn’t live in a city, I’d live (where?) Oh you probably shouldn't ask me that as my answers are endless.

The best book about my city is Jack Kerouac wrote here.

When I think about my city, the song that comes to mind is the South Park theme song.

If you have kids, you won’t want to miss camping.

Seeing 'cowboys,' 'ski bums,' 'hipsters,' and 'hippies' co-exist could only happen in my city.
