Just because you are on your own is no reason to sit and stare at the wall. Get out and try these tips for solo fun.
You are an Island.
You can only play so many games of solitaire before you go insane. You need to get out of the house and do something. Well, you’re in luck becasue Denver has tons of great things for a person to do alone. So get dressed!
CULTURE:
Museums are actually better when you go it alone. You can linger over areas of interest, skip what bores you, and sit down and take a break whenever you feel like it. These three are not to be missed.

Barnes & Noble Booksellers
960 South Colorado Boulevard, Denver, CO 80246
The advantage of this Barnes and Noble is the 24 hour Starbucks attached to it. So if you are not ready to leave by closing time, you can take your book to a table next door. Stay all night, they don’t mind.

Fun for One
DINING:
Eating out by yourself can be hard. You can feel pretty exposed sitting alone at a table in a restaurant full of chatty couples. Bring a book, wear your ipod, and try these restaurants that tend to be solo-friendly.
Neighborhood Flix Cinema and Cafe
2510 E. Colfax Denver, CO 80206
Have dinner while you watch a movie. You will love the food, and if the movie is good, you won’t miss the conversation.
Sushi TAZU
300 Fillmore Street, Denver, CO 80206
Sushi Bars are perfect for eating alone. Just belly up to the bar and have a feast. This little Cherry Creek place is my favorite sushi in Denver.
