Food Scene
We are lucky that the closest restaurant is also one of the best in the city. The menu changes seasonally and is always delicious. Check their website as they take a winter and summer break. They recently started taking reservations (phone only); however, we just go early (they open at 5 pm) and never have a problem getting seated.

Thump is within walking distance of the apartment. They have amazing house-roated beans and espresso drinks. They also have vegan snacks. They also serve beer if you've had enough coffee! It's a great place to work if you need a change of pace.

Table 6 has a creative and rotating menu. I'd recommend making a reservation via OpenTable if you want to make sure you get a table on the weekends. It's a short walk and the wine menu will not disappoint.

Jelly is within walking distance to our place. The breakfast and brunch scene is quite busy on the weekends but it is worth it. During the week, you can get a table pretty quickly. On the weekends, you'll have to wait if you don't go when they open.

Snarf's has creative sandwiches and salads. It is right around the corner from our apartment. I love their bread and they are open late! Ask for the "Not on the Menu" menu for even more choices. There is also a Snarf’s Burger next door. Very tasty burger...

Shopping
Cherry Creek North and Cherry Creek Shopping Center have a mix of local shops and standard high end mall stores. There are tons of great restaurants in the Cherry Creek area. Again, some are local and some are chains. I'd take an uber here because it is a little over a mile but I've also take a Denver Bcycle there since we have a stop by our house and their are several docks in Cherry Creek.

Ogden Theatre is easily walkable from the apartment. People usually line up early for shows at the Ogden so either go early or after the opening band has started to avoid waiting in line. Pro-tip: if you want seats, there are a few stools upstairs for the front couple rows only, so standing in line is worth it if you're getting old like us.
