Google Maps just keeps getting better. In addition to having a feature where you can see what a building looks like from the street, they now have business reviews submitted from readers like me. I’ve written a few reviews of local businesses, and you can see them here. This is in addition to my restaurant… Continue reading Google Maps is cool

New Stem Cell Method Could Ease Ethical Concerns – New York Times
New Stem Cell Method Could Ease Ethical Concerns – New York Times Two teams of scientists are reporting today that they turned human skin cells into what appear to be embryonic stem cells without having to make or destroy an embryo — a feat that could quell the ethical debate troubling the field. I can’t… Continue reading New Stem Cell Method Could Ease Ethical Concerns – New York Times
Down to One – Bananelope Cafe
As I write this, I’m sitting in the Starbucks at Highway 287 and Miramonte. It’s pretty much like all other Starbucks, of course. The one just happens to be closest to my house. Why am I here? Well, I couldn’t find any other coffee shops open today. I had thought we had two non-Starbucks coffee… Continue reading Down to One – Bananelope Cafe

Burritos to Go
I’d heard good things about this little burrito shop, and decided to try it out tonight. It’s in a little cluster of shops just off Sheridan north of Midway that I never knew even existed! Most of their menu is burritos, as you might expect, though they also offer tamales and tacos. As you can… Continue reading Burritos to Go
Pho Galore
A couple years ago, when the three pho restaurants opened all within a block of each other, I thought, “What were these people thinking? This can’t last. Broomfield’s never even had one Vietnamese restaurant, and suddenly we have three! I’m sure one will win out over the others and the other two will be out… Continue reading Pho Galore
3 Margaritas
Even though I really like eating at tiny “hole-in-the-wall” type Mexican restaurants, I think my favorite Mexican joint in Broomfield is 3 Margaritas. I’ve been there twice in the past couple weeks, and probably eight or ten times before that. On the last visit, I went with my wife and my mother. They both ordered… Continue reading 3 Margaritas
Buenos Tiempos
My wife and I live very close to this restaurant, which is why I wish I liked it more. Buenos Tiempos is an old time Broomfield tradition, a Mexican restaurant that existed long before we moved here and therefore longer than any other Mexican restaurant I know. Their menu is a mix of “Mexican” food… Continue reading Buenos Tiempos
Bloom
Bloom gets my vote for the best restaurant in Broomfield. They’ve got a very extensive wine list, and top notch food. When Bloom first opened a few years ago, they had stellar service – the kind of delightfully attentive staff that were always there when you wanted or needed them. I’m not talking just about… Continue reading Bloom
Heidi’s Brooklyn Deli
This rapidly growing chain of sandwich shops opened a store at Highway 287 and Miramonte a couple years ago. I was pretty excited, thinking we’d have a real New York style delicatessan so close by. But after visiting a couple times, I can tell you that Heidi’s is neither from Brooklyn nor a deli. I… Continue reading Heidi’s Brooklyn Deli
