A Perfect Weekend in the Mile High City
Back in 2018 the New York Times spent “36 Hours” in Denver, offering its readers a perfectly curated guild to the Mile High City. To us at City Cast Denver, this travel guide felt somewhat theoretical, at best, and painfully unaware, at worst. Sooooo, we decided to fix it and make our own! Today on the show, host Bree Davies and executive producer Paul Karolyi are joined by politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval. Together they lay out an alternative version of “36 Hours in Denver,” providing visitors with an on-the-ground guide to the restaurants, attractions, and city-close outdoor excursions that make this place great.
This episode originally aired on August 21, 2023.
Since this episode first aired, the New York Times has updated their guide.
