The "home" neighborhood of this Airbnb. Colfax is the longest commercial street in the US. East Colfax is home to the Bluebird and Ogden theaters, the world-famous Tattered Cover Bookstore, and great dining. Try Voodoo Donut, Trattoria Stella, Mezcal, Tommy's Thai, Pete's Gyros, and Annie's west of Colorado. Closer to home and walking distance: Chop Shop, Jett Sushi, Phoenician Kabob, Hank's BBQ (get there early or they'll sell out) and The Ethiopian Restaurant for a real treat. Also, lots of pot shops, tattoo parlors and local color.

Denver's hippest neighborhoods, Highlands and Lower Highlands (LoHi) are dynamic, fun, energetic, and walkable. So many great restaurants to choose from. In LoHi, there's Linger (in the old Olinger Mortuary), Lola Costal Mexican and Root Down (locally sourced). And you can't miss Little Man Ice Cream. A little further west is Duo, which is amazing, and a slew of other great finds in Highlands Square and the Tennyson Arts District.
