An hour from Denver International Airport (apparently the biggest airport in the US, measuring 53 square miles -- which makes it twice the size of Manhattan), Fort Collins is literally a breath of fresh air. At almost 5,000 feet above sea level, the air is crisp, the water is delicious and the weed is good (I guess, because I didn't smoke any).
Below are 10 things I did/places I went during my 48-hour stay in Fort Collins. Would definitely visit again and may even consider retiring in a cabin there someday.
The Golden Poppy Apothecary- small shop that carries essential oils and tonics for various things
Old Firehouse Books- great selection of staff picks, travel, kids’ books, local authors, etc.
Salus Bath and Body Care- handmade soaps
Curiosities- silly stuff, gag gifts and greeting cards
The Colorado Room- good music, good vibes, little potato things (taters? fritters?) and yummy sammies
Harbinger Coffee- I had the winter warmth latte (cinnamon brown sugar goodness) and a pastry that was like a palmier but is actually called a kouign amann (pronounced "queen a mon")
Odell Brewing Co- cheap beer, snacks, laid-back atmosphere
Restaurant 415- good food, locally sourced ingredients
Luciles- coffee and beignets
The Lyric Cinema Café- quirky, cool cinema/ coffee shop. My friend Maya works here, they show late-night movies and there is a resident pit bull who spends his days chillin' on the shop's couch.
