The latest issue of 5280 magazine is on newsstands now, highlighting the best-of-the-best in the denver dining scene. The 25 best restaurants issue is what this foodie/blogger looks forward to most every year so you can imagine I have been attached to it since it came out a few days ago.
There are over 10 new restaurants featured this year, showing that the seasoned players in denver better watch out for the rookies who are coming out-of-the-gates swinging for the fences (wow, did I just make a baseball reference... who am I!). Surprisingly I have only dined at 11 of the 25 restaurants which means I need to step-up an start eating my way through this list.

2. acorn (rino district)
3. cholon (lodo) *

Hi Lia, I had to look a couple of them up myself. I swear, there are so many new restaurants it is hard to keep track of them. I hope your boyfriend takes you out to one of these 25 options! If you go to one, I would love to hear what you think!
