Where are the places to eat around 14th and Lawrence? I know there is an Old C's a couple blocks away but that's about it.

what are you looking for? There are tons of restaurants at all price points of all kinds of cuisine...

Do you want anything particular?

About 6 blocks up (14th & Glenarm I think) was a really good Vietnamese/French restaurant.
Can't remember the name of it though.

Try The Market (coffee shop). They have a pretty good food selection as well, and are deli-like.

+100 ^^^^

The Market is the bomb, and very close to your crossroads! Rforsythe - please don't sell it short as a "coffeeshop!" It is so much more!!! :) Also, it's probably the closest thing we have in Downtown Denver to an actual "Deli". (Sorry, I come from the Northeast where "Deli" has an entirely different meaning. I guess you could say I'm a bit of a Deli Snob. Same when it comes to finding a decent Pizza and a decent fuckin Cheesesteak in this town, but that's a different story). :P

I don't know how you define decent, but I will give a couple suggestions:

Pizza: Bova's Italian Restaurant, 71st & Federal. I moved out of that area 5 years ago so I hope its still there, but it is a small family run place with the best pizza I have had

Cheesesteak: Taste of Philly, several locations around town. It may be a chain but it is local with only about 7 places. The original at about 2400 S. Colorado Blvd looks like a little hole in the wall, but they put out a cheesesteak! The others are bigger and still put out a terrific chesesteak

Been to Taste of Philly and was underwhelmed. I'll give Bova's Italian a try tho ... thanks for the recs!

Taste of Philly is the closest thing I've found in Denver that can compare to the cheese steaks I had while in Philly. :drool:
(patiently waiting for the Taste of Philly out in A-town to open... come on guys, get your act together!)


Pat's on the other hand is an abomination to the idea of cheese steak and should be burned to the ground :puke:

hey salsashark... every time i see your name it makes me think of www.salsasnack.com (http://www.salsasnack.com) (NSFW, home, or play). that's a website that'll remind you of the cheesesteaks of Philly like never before.

seriously - don't visit it if you want to retain your last meal. but now that I mentioned it, you're probably gonna feel even more inclined to click it.

Salsashark, your post confuses me. Are you waiting for the Pat's in A-town to open so you can burn it down?? ;) There's a Pat's about 5 minutes from work but I'll wait until I'm on the road at lunchtime to hit a ToP

Oops... my mistake... I meant to say Taste of Philly... :oops: It was late and I've been sitting in front of this computer working on school stuff way too much. **fixed**

Nope, my shadow will never darken the doorsteps of a Pat's again... not even for arson's sake... there are people you can hire for that :lol:
