A Delicious Conversation


Last night, Hillary and I went to City O City for a late night drink and pizza (La Chagall, a delicious pizza with apricot sauce, bree cheese, green olives, garlic, and a thin crust). Pablo, the manager of the restraunt, explained his thinking behind the location and spoke with passion about politics, vegetarianism, his love of pungent foods, and delicious wines. Those who know Hillary or me know that finding us lurking around City O City is hardly remarkable--we are both drawn to the amazing food, drinks, and proximity to Hillary's house. What was remarkable was Pablo's passion for creating an atmosphere based on European Bistros here in Denver where conversation and quality food and drink are the name of the game. The fact that City-O-City is vegetarian is second to Pablo--most important, and I would agree, is the quality of ingredients, company, and atmosphere. Pablo is a Denver character well worth celebrating--a man of great passion, taste, and love for what he does. For these reasons, City O City will be a lasting space in Denver for years to come.
