Hangover Survival Plan: How to recover in Denver.

Last night was a rough one. Here is a guide to picking up the shattered pieces on a Denver Sunday morning.

There's got to be a morning after.

So last night was a wild Saturday on the town. You had a thousand laughs and a hundred drinks. And now…The Hangover.

The good news, you have the whole day to shake it off, and Denver has the cure for a case of the Irish Flu. Here’s a step-by-step plan to get you back in the game.

Step One: Hydrate and Medicate

First, 2 glasses of water

Then, take 2 Ibuprofen

Finally, take a shower.

Step Two: Brunch

Denver has many fine choices for Brunch. To deal with your Hangover you are going to want to go with something heavy, starchy, and with a fair amount of grease. The British swear by Bacon sandwiches for a hangover, and they may be on the right track.  Here are a few good choices:

Racines Restaurant

650 Sherman St, Denver, CO 80203

The food at Racines is always good and the brunch especially so. I recommend either the Eggs Mazatlan or the Turkey and Smoked Gouda Croissant.

Moe's Broadway Bagel

550 Grant St Unit D, Denver, CO 80203

Nice big, dense, delicious Bagels. The best in town. Remember, you’ve got a hangover so don’t skimp on the cream cheese, and think about trying some smoked salmon lox.

Bump & Grind Inc

The only brunch in town served by Drag-queens. The service might be a clever gag, but the food is serious business. I recommend the Breakfast Casserole. It’s like a lasagne made of eggs and hash browns. Brilliant!

Pints Pub

221 W 13th Ave, Denver, CO 80204

If you are a fan of single malt scotches then this bar is perfect for you. They’ve got hundreds to choose from. I personally dislike scotch, and have a particular dislike for the snobs who drink it. Lucky for me, Pints also serves an ice cold cider that hits the spot.
