The concept behind Modmarket is fresh, seasonal, farm-to-table food served up fast. And it’s caught on fast: After the original outpost opened in Boulder two years ago, the company quickly opened two more locations. We stopped by the restaurant at 8575 East Arapahoe Road in Greenwood Village yesterday, hoping to…

It was only a matter of time before someone came out with a steampunk-based tarot deck, as popular as that particular style has become — we’re just thankful that it was someone like Barbara Moore, with a solid knowledge of the widely used Rider Waite Smith decks and a good…
When Reese Witherspoon agreed to star in the 2001 vehicle Legally Blonde, she probably had no clue that the lighthearted comedy — about a sorority sister who follows an ex-boyfriend to Harvard Law School to prove she’s, like, got substance, too! — would be nominated for a Golden Globe, spawn…
Sometimes races aren’t hard enough on their own; you have to add obstacles like tunnels, mud pits, water crossings, sand-bag carries or a slippery mountain to really get your heart rate’s worth. If you’re the part of the population that actually agrees with that, then the Merrell Down & Dirty…
Tomorrow is the first day of summer, also known as burger season — and then, just around the corner, comes the green chile harvest. Celebrate both at Five Star Burgers, the New Mexico transplant that recently made its way to Broadway…

Few burlesque acts involve the spoken word, and as far as we know, Lucky DeLuxe (aka Susanna Lee) is the only spoken-word comedic burlesque artist in the business. “I’ve been a standup comic for sixteen years,” Lee says. “I always loved what I was doing, but it always felt just…
You won’t ever find a better opportunity to visit Rick’s Cafe Americain — the famed venue in Casablanca where star-crossed lovers Rick and Ilsa reconnected — than tonight’s 1940s World War II Era Ball at the Boulder Municipal Airport. And if you’ve been to the ball in previous years, then…
Between his work with Drumcell as Cell Injection, his lauded underground early-’90s sets in Southern California (at the age of fifteen, no less), his current status as a resident at the legendary Interface warehouse parties in Los Angeles, his other collaborations with Droid Behavior/Droid Recordings and his productions on assorted…
Michael Zheng opened Okinawa in late 2010 at 2301 East Colfax Avenue, in a spot that had failed before as a sushi joint — but it’s done well enough that Zheng opened another outpost of Okinawa in a strip mall at 12652 West Ken Caryl Avenue, in a space that…

Zuko Valencia (also known as Zuko or Zuk) is a musical jack-of-all-trades — and that’s true even when compared to his peers, many of whom are classically trained instrumentalists and producers as well as set-spinners. His influences range from jazz to spoken word (he’s performed with Miles’s son Greg Davis)…
The southern I-25 corridor has not been known for its proliferation of fantastic eateries — but as Laura Shunk noted earlier this year, things are looking up lately, and Shiraz is one of many good spots we’ve found in the Tech Center…
While devouring gluten-free Udi’s bagels yesterday, our office chewed over the news that Udi’s Gluten-Free Foods had been bought by Smart Balance for $125 million.

“You need to throw that thing away as soon as you get home,” says Tracy. “You see how it’s riding up in the back?” I do see. I’m standing in the bathroom of a suite at the Ritz-Carlton with Tracy, a woman I just met, and she’s appalled — appalled…
Mirrors can perfectly reflect or utterly distort the worlds unfolding in front of them, and artist Sarah Richter has created an entire installation, called Infinite Refraction, that plays with this idea. “It’s going to be an exploratory experience, where the viewer can walk through and the reflections will change,” Richter…
My Brother’s Bar is known for its burgers (and its history), and nothing about those burgers is known for being vegetarian-friendly: The words “juicy” and “mouthwatering” are generally thrown around. Also, “beef” and “bison.” But the joint’s Boulder Burger is vegan friendly — and a fine option for plant-based eaters…
Atomic Tamale just opened at 1450 Carr Street in Lakewood — and on Sunday, when we stopped by to check out the new digs, we were happy to learn that the joint is still serving its free vegan menudo with a “special” Sunday order of two tamales and three falafel-stuffed…
