Greetings from a rainy New York City - it has been steadily raining since late last night (I got caught out in the downpour last night) and I have not ventured outside all day. It has been a great day of catching up on laundry, cooking and reading since I was traveling for most of this week.
I was in Denver for three days for a business trip - the meeting was quite good and I had fun with my colleagues. But the best part of my visit was the trip to
Tattered Cover Bookstore in downtown Denver. As soon as I heard about this trip to Denver, I knew I wanted to see the bookstore. It can sometimes be hard to fit any downtime in around meetings, catching up on work and required "social" activities. However, two things worked in my favor - the Tattered Cover location in
LoDo opens at
6:30 AM and I was on NY time so getting up early was a cinch. I was able to make the 25 minute walk to the store from my hotel before the day started.
What a store! It has beautiful wood floors and displays of books dotted amongst the shelves of books spread over two floors. They also have a great cafe with a big assortment of snacks and items for breakfast and lunch, including many gluten-free items. I was able to get a gluten-free breakfast burrito and latte which I took to one of the many tables in the store and enjoyed while I perused some books. I, of course, picked up three books. They are pictured below along with two others I picked up on a second trip I made to the store before going home! This book thing is an addiction . . . .
