Businesses to know

One from each category, best tier first. Every category has its own section further down.

Restaurants & Food in Denver

Denver eats along the older commercial streets rather than in one district: Welton Street through Five Points, Colfax east and west, South Broadway, and the Park Hill and Whittier corners. The listings run from dining rooms to counters, food trucks and caterers who mostly work private events, and Ethiopian, West African, Southern, Creole and Caribbean kitchens are all part of the everyday map here. Altitude is real for baking and for beer, and several kitchens will tell you so if you ask.

Beauty & Personal Care in Denver

Salons, barbershops, braiders, estheticians and nail studios across the metro, including shops whose stated specialty is coloring and cutting textured hair. A good deal of this trade works from studio suites rather than storefronts, which means you book a person rather than a shop. Ask about walk-ins before counting on one, since much of it is appointment only.
