I'm visiting a friend in the Denver area in a few months. They're new to the area too, but I want to make the most of the vacation.

We'll be at a hotel on 16th Street for 2 nights (for the night before and after a Broncos game).

We just want a few suggestions for places to go and hang out, eat, and just generally have fun!!



Answer
Here's the 9 best!

Denver Restaurants

Fresh Fish Company
7800 E Hampden Ave, Denver, CO 80231-4885 ·
303-740-9556

SOUTH DENVER. Fresh Fish Company's bright, cheery decor is as pleasing as its delicious seafood selections. Start off with crab-stuffed mushrooms, and then try spicy Creole Barbecued Salmon or perhaps Cedar-Planked Arctic Char. Or, let the chef make the decision when you order a Mixed Grill (two kitchen-selected seafood items). Landlubbers can look to prime rib and filet mignon meals. Lobster, crab, and shellfish are available as well, and an excellent Sunday brunch features even more fresh fish. Reservations accepted.

Mizuna
225 E 7th Ave, Denver, CO 80203-3504 · 303-832-4778


CAPITOL HILL. The Capitol Hill gang lays laurels at the feet of this Contemporary American eatery, which is known (almost) as much for its ambience as for its innovative menu. A handful of conservatively appointed tables dot the intimate dining area; soft lighting and professional, unobtrusive service help complete the elegant scene. Featured dishes twist traditional American favorites - macaroni and cheese with lobster or Maple Leaf Farm duck with balsamic jus number among the stalwarts. Since seating is limited, reservations are a must.

Sushi Uokura
815 Nile Ct, Golden, CO 80401 · 303-278-8000

GOLDEN. Juxtaposing homespun charm and modern pizzazz, Sushi Uokura breaks out of the mold of typical sushi places. The restaurant is housed in a refurbished cottage and provides a comforting, if somewhat odd, backdrop to stellar sushi. Feast on noodle dishes, sukiyaki, and even steak, but don't forget the sushi. Yellowfin tuna, red snapper, salmon, and Spanish mackerel are cut precisely and crafted into superb rolls that you'll come to crave again and again. Reservations recommended.


Wynkoop Brewing Company
1634 18th St, Denver, CO 80202-1212 · 303-297-2700


LODO. Occupying one of Denver's oldest buildings, the multi-level Wynkoop Brewing Company was the first genuine brewpub in town and remains its favorite. The ground floor is a family-friendly dining room with a menu of traditional pub grub and American-regional favorites. Upstairs is a classy, often crowded pool hall with 22 tables. If all of them are occupied, you'll have time to enjoy a handcrafted brew â the Railyard Ale and Sagebrush Stout are tried and true winners. Finally, in the basement, the Impulse Theater group presents wickedly funny improv to sold-out audiences. This is as "Denver" as it gets!


Cafe Brazil
4408 Lowell Blvd, Denver, CO 80211 · 303-480-1877

NORTH DENVER. Café Brazil has been satisfying Denver's need for spicy Latin American food for more than a decade now. Smoked meats, fresh seafood, fried rice, savory sauces, and zesty spices take much of the credit for the menu's success. Notable dishes include arepas (corn cakes) and feijoada completa, a stew of beef and black beans. Consistent cooking and delightful presentation have made this North Denver restaurant a diner's paradise. Credit cards not accepted. Reservations recommended.


Gabriel's
5450 N Hwy 67, Sedalia, CO 80135-8014 · 303-688-2323

SEDALIA. Looking for a unique place for a special occasion? Gabriel's is a perfect fit. Located in a restored Victorian house, this Italian restaurant offers exceptional northern Italian cuisine in an elegant, upscale atmosphere. A cozy fireplace illuminates the intimate dining room and sets the stage for perfect dinners. Savory pastas and a notable wine list satisfy even Denver's most discriminating tastes. Outdoor seating available on warm days. Dressy attire. Reservations recommended.


McCormick's Fish House and Bar
1659 Wazee St, Oxford Hotel, Denver, CO 80202-1313 · 303-825-1107

LODO. Those in the know consider this happening seafood restaurant one of Denver's best. Always packed for dinner, it also features a lounge that's recognized as one of the hottest bars in town. Seafood items include appetizers of oysters and caviar and main dishes of sturgeon, salmon, and lobster. Steaks, chicken, lamb, and duck appear on the menu to appease non-seafood-lovers. Menu items change nightly, and the wine list is very good. Reservations are recommended.


Stella's Coffeehouse
1476 S Pearl St, Old South Pearl Street District, Denver, CO 80210-2227 · 303-777-1031

SOUTH DENVER. Stella's draws coffee-lovers but also proves popular with folks who appreciate live music. Guests are often regaled by the tunes of area performers, who play for tips and recognition. Soothing sounds range from jazz to classical, and the warm, comforting interior features obligatory bookshelf-lined walls. Enjoy your favorite hot drink while settling in for good tunes or some conversation with friends or associates.


Sushi Den
1487 S Pearl St, Denver, CO 80210-2226 · 303-777-0826

SOUTH DENVER. Sushi Den has received numerous awards and accolades for its exceptional sushi. Wonderful, high-quality dishes are sure to please, and fresh fish is flown in daily - a practice that makes for a slightly pricier, but more than worthy, menu. The modern decor encourages trendy crowds to visit over sake, sushi, and sashimi. Other notable dishes include teriyaki sesame chicken and roasted sea bass with wasabi-caper buerre blanc. Reservations recommended. Smart casual or trendy dress appropriate.

What vitamins do vegetarians need to have?




Joy


Ok. So after being a vegetarian for a whole year I finally discovered that I needed to have been taking vitamin b this whole time. I've also known for a while that I need to make sure I get omega 3's and I make sure that I get those.

Is there anything else that I'm missing?



Answer
I'm a vegan for past 10 years. My wife is vegan since born, and a social worker too. Both my kids (5y/o, 9y/o) are vegan since born. We managed to "safe" alot the medical bills and spend them for charity services.

Hey Joy, Eating an veg*n diet is one of the healthiest things a person can do for them self and the planet!

If a person is sensible, they can pretty much just give up meat and dairy and not worry about what they are eating, and be a lot better off! Eat a wide variety of plant based foods, fruits vegetables, whole grains... limit salt, sugar, alcohol, refined grains, maintain a healthy weight, excersize... Why couldn't you ? Why wouldn't you?

I don't want to make this into a nutrition numbers site. But it seems that the people who actually question the nutritional aspects of a vegetarian or vegan diet have absolutely no idea how much of anything a person should be getting, and are generally the ones whose diet is lacking in something. Included below are the current findings in what a body needs, and where they are found in a vegan based diet.

The biggest concerns (or excuses) that still arise, when one mentions being vegetarian or vegan, is "How do you get enough protein?" While most of these people asking actually have no idea on how much protein is really necessary. They are still in the mind set of "meat is protein⦠you need protein⦠you need meatâ¦" Where in reality protein is simply amino acids, and your body cannot tell the difference between amino acids whether it comes from a cow or a potato or a laboratory. A better question they should ask themselves is "How do you get enough vegetables? Enough vitamins? Enough fiber? A lot more people get too much protein, that is "wasted" than who suffer from protein deficiencies. Besides, too much protein has been even found to lead to things like prostate cancer among other diseases, and once your body has it's daily supply that it needs, it is just used as calories and converted to fat, which can be done easier and usually less expensive with carbohydrates and/or fats themselves.

There is also an old fashioned idea that you need to "combine foods" at the same time to make it a complete proteinâ¦.. That is false. As long as you are eating a variety of foods everyday you don't have to worry about that at all. You can eat beans for, say, dinner and then rice the next day for dinner, and your body will combine the amino acids making it complete. Although, beans and rice are great together so often are eaten at the same time anyway. As are nuts and grains..... like a peanut butter (nuts) sandwich (bread/grain) = complete protein. Soy is a complete protein in itself, and since soy is such a mainstay in most vegan and vegetarian diet, no one needs to worry about complete proteins ever.
