A NEW ERA DAWNS FOR PLUS GALLERY'S LOCATION AT 25TH AND LARIMER

This is the week we've long waited for: Two fantastic new restaurants, Sugarmill and Los Chingones, are now open at the corner of 25th and Larimer, joining another recent favorite of ours Amerigo Delicatus, making our intersection one of Denver's ultimate hotspots.  More consumer-friendly businesses are set to open shortly across the street the other direction on Larimer as well, and everywhere we go people are talking about the pulse of this neighborhood shifting in the most positive ways.

Sugarmill was first out of the starting gate, we had the opportunity to sample their lunch menu recently and found it to be excellent in all ways.  Their focus is on delectable baked goods with a variety of healthy breakfast, lunch and even dinner items, making it what we consider a "go-to" anytime kind of place, complete with a cosy atmosphere that feels a touch European (see the review in today's Denver Post).  Los Chingos next door is a bit more ambitious in scale but limited to mexicali style cuisine, including a nice variety of tacos that we are pretty certain are going to be pulling folks from all corners of the city, if not from a much further trajectory.  And of course there's a full bar including, you guessed it, a wide variety of tequilas. Los Chingos also sports an upper floor with a roof-top deck overlooking Plus Gallery as well as other sides of downtown Denver.  As they also admitted today, we can't wait for spring to come around to try out the full experience, but we are delighted to have these additions open now in the neighborhood and so close to Plus Gallery.

Inside Sugarmill

Both Los Chingos and Sugarmill will have their doors open and serving this week, presenting the perfect opportunity for a nice shift after our opening of Frank T. Martinez show this Thursday night.

And to celebrate what has taken 12 years in this neighborhood to happen for our location, we've mounted our first gallery signage ever, a giant banner on the east-side facade, featuring artwork from Frank T. Martinez new exhibition.  Be the first to see all of the wonderful things happening on our side of town.  Plus Gallery will also be open for extended hours on Friday night in celebration of First Friday and the start of our new show.
