Over only a few blocks, Platte Street offers some of the best dining and a diversity of cuisines and options that is hard to mimic in any other part of the Mile High City. There is everything from top notch nigiri at Sushi Sasa to tea sandwiches and muffins at House of Commons, outrageous tiki drinks and late night fare at Ste. Ellie, and some of the best offal and charcuterie in town at Colt & Gray. Among the newest additions to the scene is Brider, a fast casual spot from the award-winning team at Acorn and Oak at Fourteenth and Habit/Carbon, a dual doughnut shop and cafe concept that features one of Denver's best hidden patios in the back of its space. So have your pick: Ice cream, English tea cookies, or a late night burger at a classic joint - it's all right there on and around this one street.
