We’ve found some very good vegan pizzas in town, including this year’s Best of Denver award-winner. But the pie to beat in 2013 comes from the oven at the Marquis Theater, which has minimal seating for diners — but plenty of entertainment while you wait…
Although we absolutely love vegan king Bryant Terry’s pesto potato salad, sometimes you want something a bit more traditional to take to a picnic. This recipe is adapted from the original Betty Crocker version, but we use Vegenaise instead of mayonnaise and add some pickle, celery seed and dill for…
Justin Martin really only started taking his DJ career seriously in 2009, when he decided it would be nice to just play music for a living. He’d already been a serious contender among up-and-coming mixers and producers, but now he was laying it all on the line. You might remember…
The upstairs dining room of the Arvada Yak and Yeti is like an eccentric grandmother’s attic, with its slanting ceilings and a shelf of books with such archaic titles as Communications in the Future (written in 1982). There are also enough cultural artifacts adorning the walls and shelves to stock…

“If you never pictured yourself as someone who’d go to a wine event, you should still consider coming to Unwined,” says Club W founder Xander Oxman. “It’s going to be more of a party than a wine tasting.” That’s in line with Club W’s purpose, which is to introduce wine…
Dark Knight Rises is the third film in the gritty reboot of the Batman franchise, which began in 2005, and it could break box-office re-cords for the biggest-grossing opening weekend in movie history. But you can see it a full four and a half hours before almost everyone else at…
You know you’ve picked a good restaurant for lunch when it’s already filling up at 11 a.m. That’s what we found when we stepped inside Sahara. Like many restaurants in the Denver Tech Center area, Sahara is tucked inside a strip mall, but the attention paid to the decor makes…
The latest incarnation of the Batman franchise is arguably the best yet: dark and gritty with a star-studded cast of characters. When The Dark Knight Rises opens Thursday night, it’s projected to break all box-office records for the biggest opening weekend of all time. And we’ve got a deal for…

Pat McCullough, organizer of the annual Colorado Irish Festival, is well aware of what people want from the cultural extravaganza each year. “We’re going to have all the nine yards there,” he confirms. “Music, dance and piping, and all the booths and artisans and vendors, and the Denver Gaels —…
We’ve lauded Thai Lotus more than once, and with good reason: The unassuming eatery, tucked next to Chianti and El Senor Sol, could use a little promotion. And it definitely deserves it. Because once you’ve stopped in Thai Lotus, you won’t make the mistake of overlooking it again…
The Denver production superstars behind Sub.mission continue to put this city on the map by bringing in internationally known dub-driven acts to wobble and whomp up local clubs, and they’ve recently increased their profile by booking Digital Mystikz, the dubstep production duo comprising Mala and Coki from South London’s Norwood…

Let’s face it: When most people think of lizards and snakes, they think of scales, slithering and potential poison. “A lot of people are creeped out by lizards and snakes,” says Brian Hostetler, educator for Lizards & Snakes, a new exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. “But…
Don’t make the mistake of thinking the Re-Evolution of Mind Body Spirit Artwalk Afterparty at GuildWerks will be a typical wine-sipping, art-discussing, post-First Friday bash, because there’s much more to it than that. First and foremost, Re-Evolution is a fundraiser to help local tribal-rock-electro-dance-hip-hop-insanity band INTI mix and master its…
Not every vegetarian or vegan likes substitute meats — but those who do understand that there is such a thing as a fake meat that tastes like the real thing. Gardein is one brand that does fake meat really well, and many of its products are available on the menu…
The first thing you should know about Sascha Dive is that Sascha Dive is actually his real name — no need to pretend. That ethos follows through with the rest of Dive’s abilities: He’s not big on using bells, whistles or other accoutrements to embellish his sound. And that’s good,…
