Girls’ Night Out: La Biblioteca de Tequila
Twelve, nine, seven, four, and two. Those numbers are not my high school locker combination. And, unfortunately, they are not the winning lottery numbers. Those are the ages of the kids my friend and I were trying to run away from when we went out for a girls’ night at Denver’s La Biblioteca a couple of weeks ago.
Out-of-town guests dropping in? Where will you take them to eat?
‘Tis the season for out-of-town guests. Sure, you’ve got all the activities planned — a hike in Eldorado Canyon, a viewing of the King Tut exhibit, perhaps an afternoon at one of the municipal pools — but the real question is: Where are you going to eat? Choosing a place for guests is different from choosing a place for yourself. You want a place with good food, a place that shows off Denver well, a place where anyone in the party will be able to find something to eat. A place that’s not too expensive. A place that reflects your own sensibilities, but dovetails with your guests’ tastes, too. The Denver area is packed with options.

Ten family-friendly Denver restaurants you (and your kids) will love!
Families deserve a break from their own kitchens. But eating out can be expensive — even out- of-reach — for those whose clans are a few kiddos short of a TLC reality show.

Children with heartier appetites can opt for midsize meals, dubbed “Bigger Bites,” which are larger than the kids versions but not quite as big as what ma and pa wolf down. (These meals aren’t part of the Thursday dollar deal, though...
Win Dining Passes for Your Family From Sweet Tomatoes/Souplantation!
**CONTESTED CLOSED. CONGRATULATIONS TO WINNER NANCY SUTTON!** During a recent trip to Sweet Tomatoes/Souplantation, it was revealed that I rarely take my children to buffets. The reason? They became unglued with excitement at the prospect of eating anything (and everything) they wanted. With an emphasis on the everything. For once, I encouraged them to do it because you just can’t go wrong with their made-from-scratch soups, salad bar of over 50 items and hand-crafted muffins, focaccia, breads and tasty desserts. The place redefines kid-friendly…and healthy. Every month, Sweet Tomatoes changes up their menu items to follow a theme and May is the American Road Trip. Your kiddos will love goodies such as the California Cobb Salad, Smokey BBQ Ranch Dressing, Chesapeake Corn Chowde...
