Denver, Colorado
Larimer Square is Denver's oldest and most historic block, where the city was founded in 1858. The district features beautifully restored Victorian buildings that now house a sophisticated collection of chef-driven restaurants, independent boutiques, and lively bars, all under a canopy of signature string lights.
Saved from demolition in the 1960s by Dana Crawford, Larimer Square became the city's first historic district and a model for urban preservation. Today, it remains a bustling gathering place that blends the charm of the Old West with modern urban energy and culinary excellence.
