Dinner and a Movie - Row 14 Bistro and Wine Bar (50% off) and Classic Film Series Hepburn and Tracy (Free)

50% off Dinner at Row 14 Bistro and Wine Bar

Row 14 has been featured in 5280, Westword, and the Denver Post for having an amazing wine list and food to match. I personally have been dying to try the 'Pigs under a Blanket', Philly Cheesesteak empanadas, and the Maine Diver Scallops. Fortunately for me (and you!), Livingsocial has a deal for 50% either lunch or dinner:
  •  $25 for $50 to spend on food and drink at dinner
  • $15 for $30 to spend on food and drink at lunch
They also have an excellent Happy Hour - see their website for more details.

12/14/13 - Meet Eric Decker (Three Dogs Tavern) and Best Fried Pickles at a Wing Joint (Fire on the Mountain)

Oh, what to do on a Tuesday night?? Tuesday December 17th to be specific. How about meeting the Broncos' Eric Decker and then heading down the street for some amazing fried pickles and wings?! Sounds like a good night to me or maybe an early christmas present (hint hint).

$99 for Admission for One to Eric Decker VIP Photo and Signature Event on December 17 ($178 Value)

Choose from two options for $59 you can just meet and greet and get one autograph. Or for $99 (through Groupon) you can get the VIP package, which includes:
  • VIP admission autograph ticket and photo op with Eric ($118 value)
  • Promo t-shirt ($25 value)
  • Certification of autograph authenticity ($5 value)

3390 W 32nd Ave, Denver, CO 80211

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. 

Fire On The Mountain Denver features Happy Hour everyday from 3-6pm – $1 off draft beers and house wines and $3 off pitchers!

Golden Triangle Day Trip 1 - Rooster and Moon Coffee Pub, History Colorado Center (50% off ), Counter-terrorism Education Learning Lab (50% off ), & Dinner at Zocalo (50% off )

Golden Triangle - Day 1 on a Deal 

The Golden Triangle is a treasure trove of some of Denver's best cultural experiences. Between the Denver Museums, the Denver Library, Spas, theater and excellent restaurants, you could easily find yourself entertained for several days. I have tracked down four recommendations all within walking distance of each other that could be visited in the same day and several of them currently have Groupons that will save on the afternoon. Lastly, at the bottom of this post, I have made a map to help on your travels. 

1. Rooster and Moon Coffee Pub 

You can both start and end your day at Rooster and Moon. Whether you like a smoothie or a caffeine jolt to start the day, they have you covered. The food menu changes through out the day, but they have baked goods and what the restaurant calls 'flats'. The flats are basically square pizzas with a variety of toppings.

If you visit 7pm on Thursdays, you can take part in the weekly Geeks Who Drink trivia night.


Maple Bacon Doughnuts - featured on R&M Facebook page


















2. CELL Counter-terrorism Education Learning Lab - Golden Triangle

Definitely not a education center that you would see every day and unique enough to attract over 70 U.S. Government officials. Developed by counter-terrorism experts, the interactive exhibit educates visitors about global terrorism's history, tools, and media coverage. 

The link to the Groupon below (posted 12/3/13) has three options:
  • $8 for admission for two (up to a $16 value)
  • $15 for admission for four (up to a $32 value)
  • $30 for admission for eight (up to a $64 value)

50% off CELL Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab - Groupon


3. History Colorado Center

The History Colorado Center features high-tech and hands-on exhibits that are both fun and informative. Check out the video below for a look at the 'Time Machines' 



I found a Groupon that offers 50% off via 2-for-1 deals. Click link below for more details

  • $12 for admission for two ($24 value)
  • $24 for admission for four ($48 value)
50% off History Colorado Center - Groupon

4. Dinner and Margaritas at Zocalo  

Zocalo received a 'Best of Denver' award from Westword for their chips and salsa, but don't fill up on just chips! They have a wonderful menu of traditional Mexican dishes and a great drink menu.  The owners of Zocalo are from Mexico City, so you can expect an authentic flavor and regular favorites too. 
 

I also was able to track down a Groupon for Zocalo as well. This 50% off deal has two options; but click link for more details.

  • $10 for $20 worth of Mexican food and drinks
  • $20 for $40 worth of Mexican food and drinks for four
50% off Zocalo Restaurant & Bar - Groupon

9/23/13 - Memory Foam Pillow, Board Games, and Mr. Sulu Flash Drive

Today's post just features a few products that I came across in my internet travels, take and look and enjoy!

$12 Memory Foam Contour Pillow 

Personally I can not live without my pillow. I take it with me even when I travel. You might think that I am crazy, but hold your judgment until you try the memory foam pillow. I used to get headaches in the morning from my head slipping into contorted positions while sleeping. However once I got the memory foam pillow, I didn't wake up with headaches anymore (at least the literal kind)!

The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor (free or 50% off for new Audible members)

I just finished reading The Happiness Advantage book and I have to say that it has helped dramatically shift my viewpoint in my daily life. Shawn recommends simple changes that help change perceptions and thus increasing happiness. May sound hokey, but happier people are generally more successful, are healthier, and quicker to recall information. You might go to a chicken and egg place in your head (which came first?), but study after study proves that happiness comes first. Shawn's book "The Happiness Advantage" is a truly enlightening point of view on the subject and I recommend checking it out. I 'read' it via audio book, which is narrated by the author.
