Housed in a former pharmacy, this Italian bistro still retains its character with tiled floors and original woodwork. The moderately priced restaurant caters to everyone from families with young children (crayons on every table) to singles on romantic dinners (later in the evening). For something totally tasty, try the restaurants signature dish – Pasta Felese.

With homemade pizza and several beers on tap, this quaint pizzeria is a perfect place to bring the kids or hang out with friends. During the summer, dining expands onto the outdoor patio.

This small coffee shop is the hub of the neighborhood. Amenities include WiFi, movie rentals, ice cream and entertainment that can range from music to a movie. After much controversy from a neighboring business, a small playground in front of the coffee shop was removed and due to insurance issues and some very stupid laws it will not be put back in place.

Eating at Tables is a real treat (and yes, I would leave the kids at home). Mismatched furniture add to the homey feel of the restaurant while the menu changes with the mood of the chefs and the season.

Off the beaten path, this little bistro offers coffee, pastries, gourmet cheeses, meals-to-go and light breakfast & lunch. Owner Andrew is all about building community offering monthly dinners, brunches and poker nights where strangers become friends over several long tables.

Stepping into Joseph’s is like wandering into a long-lost aunt’s house who lives in the South.

Offering everything from fried chicken to yam fries to sweet tea, you’ll want to go running to burn off the calories.

Tucked away in an unassuming strip plaza, Spicy Thai is a beautiful, modern decorated Thai and sushi restaurant. Despite its nice ambiance, it is affordable and family-friendly.

Located a block from the golf course and the hustle-and-bustle of Colorado Boulevard, Kate’s offers organically prepared food in a turn-of-the century Victorian. It is only open several days for lunch and Sunday brunch; reservations are essential.

For a high-end trendy cut, Bang is the place to go.

Every neighborhood needs a wine store, and this small one fits the bill selling wine, beer and hard liquor.

Everything to service your car in the heart of the neighborhood.

This volunteer-operated book store offers new and used books.

Stepping back in time, this Italian market offers a wide variety of groceries, take-out meals and gourmet deli. The freshly made sandwiches are generous and my personal favorites are the Tuscan and the Roasted Vegetable. The market also sells their own line of pasta sauces…yum.
