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
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:

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.

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.

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!

Omelettes, waffles, potatoes, and sausage. Le Peep has a breakfast menu like a greasy spoon diner, but cooks it up like a fine dining restaurant. Fresh and delicious always.

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.
