Larimer Square, Denver

Nestled in historical lower downtown Denver, Larimer Square occupies a one-block strip of the city's oldest street, dating back to the 1860s. Lined with Victorian brownstones, the area is now a thriving shopping and entertainment district flowing with activity. Spend the morning combing the ever-changing boutiques and clothing stores, then head over to Tamayo's for lunch. For the afternoon, take a self-guided walking tour of the historical district (brochures are located at the information gazebo). In the evening, dine at the Little Russian Cafe, Josephina's, or the Del Mar Crab House. Then, dance until the wee hours at Lucky Star.
