Hats at Mariel

Denise Snyder is Denver’s undisputed curator of millinery, and springtime is when the hat displays at her Cherry Creek North boutique, Mariel, really come to life. Pastels, hot pink, chic black – whatever you fancy, Mariel will help you look equally fancy. Whether you’re headed to a Kentucky Derby soirée, one of the city’s many spring fundraisers, or are simply browsing, Mariel is the go-to.

Ceviche Classes at Toro

Date nights are exponentially more fun and promising when it’s not 12 degrees outside. Some of the best ceviche anywhere wants to jumpstart spring with classes at Toro Latin Kitchen & Lounge, and then see where the night takes you. People love to gather for food, and this is as unique and entertaining as it gets while setting the table for an evening full of possibilities.

Denver Botanic Gardens

Talk about an unrivaled venue for all things spring. The Denver Botanic Gardens might as well be another planet with its stunning array of plants, trees and foliage, with the grounds drenched in a rainbow palette that screams happiness, beauty, and the best that life has to offer. Stretch the legs with a walk around the sprawling 24-acre property that also features art and sculpture exhibits, live music, tours of the grounds, along with two restaurants and a coffee shop.
