We don't work all of the time and we don't think you should either. Since our office is located within walking distance of Larimer Square, LoDo, 16th Street Mall and Coors Field, we wanted to give you some ideas of where you can go to get some good food, good drinks or simply to relax and laugh a little bit.

So we surveyed our employees about the places they like to go. The results are below. Visiting these places will give you a pretty good understanding of the type of people we are and what we like to do.

Start your day of right!

Delectable Egg - 1642 Market St., 303.572.8146

Dixon's - 1610 16th St., 303.573.6100
This is one of the places in town for a working breakfast. The good news is that in addition to getting business accomplished, you can get a great breakfast. We highly recommend the french toast.

Ellyngton's at The Brown Palace Hotel - 321 17th St., 303.297.3111
Ellyngton's has a reputation for its "power meal" because of its classy décor and location near Denver's financial district. This isn't just a great place during weekdays either. Their Dom Perignon Sunday Brunch is simply divine.

The Palm - 1672 Lawrence St., 303.825.7256

Rialto Café - 934 16th St., 303.893.2233
Bask in the dark-wood dining room as you enjoy their renowned Waldorf Salad. If you see yourself as a superstar looking for some comfort food, we also recommend trying the star-shaped chicken pot pie.

With margarita in hand, Croc's is a casual place where you can color on the paper table cloths and relax without pretense.

Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant - 1525 Blake St., 303.623.5432
If you're showing up much after 5:00, be prepared to wait for a table. Rio's margaritas have such a strong reputation, so strong that you are limited to ordering no more than three per day. Patio tables are hard to come by but worth showing up early for.
