The Best Time of Year to Buy Everything

Just browsing, I came across this great post on Lifehacker by Whiston Gordan on when you can find the best deals on most things. His article further expands on the graphic listed below. Check out the link:

The Best Time to Buy Anything During the Year

Happy Hour at Trillium and a Show at The Marquis Theater (Vetta Starr Jan. 4th $10)

Good bye 2013 and Hello 2014! The new year is just kicking off and there are so many exciting events and businesses opening in the next few months. Keep posted for some of the best kept secrets and and a few of your favorites.

Happy Hour, a Concert, and Pizza 

Happy Hour at Trillium 

Start your evening at one of the most celebrated new restaurants of Denver. Trillium features a Scandinavian based menu. Westword Denver awarded the restaurant - 'The Best Steak Outside of a Steakhouse' . While the steak looks AMAZING on the menu (and I will be sure to try on another day!), it might be a bit heavy pre-concert and at $29 for the plate might kill the budget before the night kicks off. I am recommending to try their Happy Hour in the bar and lounge. Daily drink specials are available Tuesday - Sunday (closed Mon.) and $6 plates - All of which look to be pretty tasty and something a little different that I don't get to try every day.

Yelp Review for Trillium

The Marquis Theater - Vetta Starr, Jan. 4th, $10 

About a block away from Trillium is the Marquis Theater. They typically have several concerts booked every week. The venue is on the smaller side, which is actually pretty great, because you can usually always see the stage. The bartenders are great! Fast, efficient, and friendly. I was at the Marquis for the Flobot's NYE party and I wish I would of gotten the name of the bartender that served me. She remembered my name and I know that she remembered the names of my friends too! 

On Saturday, January 4th (Doors at 7pm), Vetta Starr is playing with special guests: Anthony Ruptak, Branded Bandits, and Michelle Mandico. Tickets are only $10! If you buy your tickets online and print at home, frequently you will also get a coupon for $1 off food at the Marquis. I bought two GIANT slices of really delicious pizza and it only cost me about $6 bucks. Well worth the money!

Fire on the Mountain Buffalo Wings - (and a Great place to go for fried pickles) 

Denver has had a few Portland transfers - Voodoo Doughnuts just opened 12/14/13 and Fire on the Mountain has been open since April. While the buffalo wings are the main event, the fried pickles with the chipotle mayo shouldn't be missed. The Westword's Best of Denver 2013 listed FOTM's as the reader's choice for the best fried pickles. The wings are a little on the smaller side, but pack a flavor punch! The 12 homemade sauces are made fresh daily.
