Food scene
Start your day on the right note with coffee and croissants at Hunter Bay! Their coffee is always on-point, the croissants are light and flaky, and the outdoor seating is perfect for people watching, reading, and even working! They also have good breakfast sandwiches that you can't go wrong with! At the risk of ruining Starbucks for you, we cannot recommend this place enough!

Eat their mushroom pizza and you might just give up on meat! This place always has a line outside with people waiting to be seated, so you might want to check on reservations. If not, and you don't mind putting your name on the list, Olde Town is great for walking around as you wait. If you do try this place, we enjoy their pizza and Brussel sprouts the most. A great spot if you are looking for an energetic vibe.

In the mood to indulge?! Namaste India is one of our go-to Indian restaurants in the area. While it is not the most authentic or even the best Indian food in town (the search continues), it comes close to satisfying our cravings. We recommend butter chicken, madras lamb, and lentil soup specifically.

Bluegrass is the perfect spot if you are looking for a specific level of energy on your night out. This joint attracts a diverse crowd, so you don't need to worry about feeling out of place. Families, singles, couples, friends, we have seen everyone feel at home here. There are enough drinks to choose from and the food is mostly a bar menu, but it's good. We go here when we don't want to avoid the rush and noise of a bar, but also don't want to feel like we are boring! There is outside seating that we enjoy, or you can choose to sit indoors, or in their back patio.

Neighborhoods
The coolest thing about Olde Town Arvada is that this community took something as grim as the Covid pandemic and used it as a lesson on making a neighborhood more pedestrian-friendly! While the no-car zone started out as a temporary arrangement, Olde Town Arvada has now made much of its area accessible only by foot. This does not mean you have to leave your car behind. There is plenty of street and lot parking available on the periphery. Park your car anywhere and explore this charming area slowly, on foot. We love the old buildings, the mix of eclectic, contemporary, and dated stores. The area has great energy in almost every season, but comes alive with outdoor music and painted streets in the summer and spring. It's perfect to take a walk any time of the day, but most places close around 9PM.

RiNo is the kind of neighborhood that we think cities should have more of! High-end bars meet grunge in this cool corner of our city. Street parking can be difficult to find here, especially on weekends or evenings, so you may be better off taking a cab. Alternatively, keep an eye out for parking lots in the area that are easier to find than street parking. Walk around, admire the graffitis and street art, check out some cool shops, and explore the dining scene.
