About this activity

What makes this tour unique is the way it combines Denver’s evolving downtown story with flavors from the local businesses shaping it today. Guests begin at the historic Brown Palace, then explore the newly redesigned 16th Street while seeing landmarks such as the Colorado State Capitol, Denver Pavilions, Paramount Theatre, Skyline Park, and the Daniels & Fisher Clock Tower. Along the way, the tour stops at four locally owned restaurants for a diverse lineup of tastings, including bison chili, empanadas, handmade pork potstickers, and green chile quiche. Rather than focusing on just one cuisine, the experience shows how immigrant-owned businesses, Colorado ingredients, and international food traditions all come together in downtown Denver. It is part walking tour, part history lesson, and part progressive meal, giving guests a deeper sense of the city through both its architecture and its food.
