Three Colorado spots ranked among best ‘alfresco’ dining areas nationwide

The publication DatingAdvice recently released a list of 150 of the most romantic alfresco (open air) dining destinations in the U.S. Three Colorado locations made the cut to be included.

To create the rankings, DatingAdvice held an online panel survey of 3,000 Americans based on age, gender, and geography. Internal data sources were used to obtain population data sets. Researchers also used a two-step process to ensure representativeness through stratified sampling and post-stratification weighting.

Downtown Aspen came in at 14th place. According to Aspen Chamber, Aspen’s restaurant scene includes culinary options to suit any palate. Some of the area’s best restaurants include The White Hourse Tavern and the French Alpine Bistro. As well as the dining scene, Aspen is surrounded by beautiful scenery and great opportunities to explore the outdoors. This makes it a great call to find a spot with a patio and sit down for a relaxing meal.

LoHi, Denver ended up ranking 60th nationwide. LoHi is a charming Denver neighborhood filled with Victorian-era homes and buildings, lush gardens and parks, art galleries, and of course restaurants. The area’s dining scene includes rooftop seating, cocktails, and innovative cuisine. Some options include Avanti F and B, Linger, El Five, Highland Tap & Burger, and Recess Beer Garden.

Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall ended up landing in 67th place. Pearl Street Mall has everything from shopping, lodging, and restaurants to entertainment and events. The area includes sidewalk cafes and fine dining establishments. Some of the best include Gemini and Leaf. Outdoor seating here often comes with a view of the bustling blocks of quintessential ‘Main Street’ Colorado.
