Grab a drink at Lala’s. Dine with friends at Potager. Bicycle to Cheeseman Park. Try a vegan pastry at City O’ City. Catch a show at the Bluebird. Go green at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Sing along at Charlie Brown’s. Cook up something new at Whole Foods. Make a statement at The Denver Art Museum.

Capitol Hill is bolstered by Cheeseman Park, a grassy expanse that is technically north of the neighborhood,though many consider it a Capitol Hill park. Stop by any weekend afternoon, and the dirt path that circumvents the park will be clogged with joggers and speed walkers. Governor’s Park, on 7th and Logan Streets has a swing set, but due to its small size, it remains largely unfrequented.

Governor’s Park Bar & Grill on the other hand, is in a constant state of overflow, especially during happy hour, which it is well known for. Charlie Brown’s just up the street is another neighborhood watering hole and a favorite of the road-worn beat poets, Kerouac and Ginsberg. The 35-year-old piano bar shared a building with The Colburn Hotel, one of many places to stay on Capitol Hill. The Burnsley Hotel is another option, and is located across the street on 10th and Grant.

For coffee in the morning, or a meeting in the afternoon, head over to Penn Street Perk, or try Daz Bog Coffee located on 9th and Downing.

The great thing about living here is everything is so close and convenient. Check out the Neighborhood and discover all that is waiting for you once you are living in your new Alta Vera home.
