Let’s welcome some of the new kids to town! There have been quite a number of new restaurants and ideas that have popped up in the past few weeks that are worth checking out!
The 5th String will replace Old Major in LoHi, with wine taking center stage instead of meat. The owner, Amos Watts, was most recently the chef at Corrida and worked at Old Major until 2017. It will serve upscale American with a lower price point and a focus on eclectic small plates as well as big family dinners. They hope to open in August.
Oh Golly Dumplings - A dumpling Pop Up that has been hosting one event a month (and selling out within an hour) is hosting another pop-up at Run for the Roses’ temporary location in Free Market at 1801 Blake St., Denver on Saturday, August 1 beginning at 4 p.m. Their belle of the ball, the OG dumplings, comes with six to a bowl and are filled with wagyu beef, cabbage and carrot, and will definitely make an appearance at the Pop Up this weekend. The rest is up in the air but will be paired with drinks from Run for the Roses. Make sure to get there early!
Jabroni and Sons - A personal favorite of mine, has popped up in Bar Dough’s location during the lunch hour on Friday’s and can be found on the brunch menu at Bar Dough on the weekends. An amazing combo of Philly and Boston sandwiches can be found, including a very good cheese steak, the American Wit! They hope to increase their hours back to more days of the week again soon.
Toro Latin Kitchen opened up in Cherry Creek in the JW Marriott earlier this month featuring upscale Latin fare. They have a massive patio waiting for you to come and try their guacamole, smoked swordfish dip, and ceviche along with their kick butt cocktail list. They’re now open for lunch and dinner.
