“DC really only started becoming cool like five years ago,” my friend Liz explained as we ate red velvet cake at Founding Farmers restaurant in Washington DC this past Saturday. I have no what DC was like pre-2008, but I was definitely impressed with how much fun I had during my brief time in the … Continue reading »

I should stick to mountains
I don’t know why but I have been dying to go to Beta for the past two years. Beta is basically the quintessential night club in Denver. I mean apparently LeBron James was there a few weeks ago? You might be thinking to yourself right now that Beta doesn’t really seem like my kind of … Continue reading »
Evening bike ride + ice cream = perfection
Do you ever have those nights where you know you should exercise but the prospect of going for a run sounds like the least fun thing ever? That was my night on Tuesday. After getting home from a full day of work and evening ESL tutoring, I was exhausted. But I also knew that I … Continue reading »
If you give a Paula a pair of pink pants…
I’ll be the first to admit that there are a lot of things I’m not good at, like cooking. However, something that I am actually pretty good at is working with fabric paint. It’s not something I put on my resume (yet), but it’s definitely something I have fun doing. Halloween costume I made a … Continue reading »

Paula’s Top of the Town
Every year 5280, which is Denver’s magazine cleverly named after the elevation of the city (Coloradans may or may not be obsessed with altitude), names the Top of the Town in its July issue. I love reading through this issue and finding new places to explore and try, and I had been intending on releasing … Continue reading »
Colorado brewskis
I have always enjoyed living in Colorado for the mountains and beautiful weather. However, I have recently added a new winning factor to the list: beer. There’s some sort of rumor floating around that Colorado has the most breweries per capita in the U.S. which may or may not be true, but it’s definitely true … Continue reading »
Dough and pho
Apparently I have been living under a rock in Denver over the past year or so. I just recently discovered two amazing food establishments that have changed my life as I know it: Buffalo Dough Boy Bakery and Pho 95. If only I had known about them sooner! Oh well, better late than never. Buffalo … Continue reading »
Ch-ch-changes
I’m currently attempting to do homework in one of my favorite coffee shops in Denver, Wash Perk. I seriously lived here during finals in the spring quarter. It’s a cute, homey coffee shop about three blocks west of Washington Park that I discovered last year. However, Wash Perk has recently renovated, and it just feels … Continue reading »

To live and let diorama
I think my weekend can be summed up best by two words: “Civil War”. ”Sake Bomb” could also probably sum up at least my Friday but that version of my weekend is much less blog appropriate. And so on with the Civil War we go! Or as it is sometimes called down here, “The War … Continue reading »
Mile High find: Fruition
My brother came to Denver for the weekend, so after a full weekend of Water World and hiking in RMNP, we ended his trip by eating at Fruition. I have been wanting to eat at Fruition for awhile, and I actually made reservations for us like two weeks before he came to Denver. That’s right, … Continue reading »
