This past Saturday, I assisted Mike Eymer, owner and founder of Colorado Cannabis Tours, with his weekly scheduled marijuana tour. Not only was I serving as “Vanna White,” this was also my first Colorado Cannabis Tour experience. I did not know what to expect, but I was certainly excited about this journey. A small group of 8 congregated at the Cheba Hut in downtown Denver…

Have you ever experienced a coffee tasting? I hadn’t, until recently when Novo invited me on their roastery tour to learn about the complex process of what truly makes a great cup of coffee. Starting in Africa one of the members of the Brodsky family seeks and sources the coffee direct from the farmer himself. Then, the coffee beans are carefully packed, floated across the…
This past Saturday morning I found myself with The Guide in hand trying to figure out where to go for brunch. Denver’s crazy brunch scene can be discouraging, with wait times up to an hour and a half. 11:30am and starving, I suggested we check out The Grubbery. In about 10 minutes we arrived from downtown Denver and were comfortably seated in a booth. The…
Last week City Sessions was invited on a grow house tour of the Medicine Man. Andy Williams, co-owner of the single-largest recreational/medical dispensary in Colorado blew our minds when showing us around his expanding grow operation. Moving from room to room we were in awe of the sheer size of it all. Seeing everything from the vegetation room (also known as the green mile) to…
The other day I stumbled upon the cutest resale boutique on South Broadway, Mercer Place. Sonya greeted me as I walked in and assisted me as I looked through their collection of top-line label dresses and pants. As I pulled items off the rack I vocally stated “If this fits, it’s mine!” Being alone and shopping is difficult. At least for me it is. Sonya…
Head to Park Hill for an unforgettable dining experience at Bistro Barbès. Chef Jon Robbins, former chef of Mizuna and of pop-up restaurant Gypsy Kitchen, truly shines in his own space. What an experience! It all started with the ease of parking. The casual, charming restaurant was inviting and unpretentious. The staff provided top-notch service and the cuisine was superb, reminding me of a food…

The event was a success and all that bought The Guide…
