I came to their 'Titanic the Musical' show last night and it was magnificent. CU presents did an…read moreexceptional job. There was a live orchestra whose score was smooth, lively, and perfect accompaniment to the actors performance. There is a magic in live music and performance and I definitely felt it. The actors were beautiful singers, had great stage presence and really sold the story. I think my favorite part was the costumes though. They were so beautiful era pieces/modern recreations. The cast had to change so many times throughout the performance and I am sure the complexity of their outfits didn't help. The costuming and casting was so good my party and I were arguing if the child and the captain were actually college aged as they accurately looked their characters intended age. Ps. The doggos were the real stars who are we even kidding anyways :).

The Arvada Center is a spectacular venue, if you're not too far away. For us, the 25 minute drive…read moreis well worth it. Plan to arrive early if you're seeing a live performance as there are multiple galleries to spend some time with, along with light bites and beverages. There are so many seating areas sprinkled throughout the space, if ya wanna just lounge while you wait. Speaking of light bites and beverages, they have some decent offering and aren't too over the top for what'd you'd expect to pay at a live performance. I also don't mind supporting such a great venue and organization. We've seen a few performances at a couple of their theatres. My favorite is likely the most intimate space, The Black Box Theatre. The other larger space is well laid out, just bigger. I love the creativity and variety of their offerings. We've seen so many great shows. Def will return. And, the last time we were there, we learned about their spring plant sale that took place in their parking lot. Who knew? We went and really appreciated the local community collaboration. Check them out. It'll be a great experience.

It's kinda cool that we have a Japanese arcade available in CO. They have an ATM machine but also…read moremachines to exchange for quarters. I like that it's quarters because you could bring your own stash or if you don't use all of it, you can save the quarters for next time or use it in the real world. There's a variety of games from fighting to Mario kart to a ton of music beat games. We liked the drum and this one near the bathrooms. Lots of fun games (I just don't know the names). They're very loud and colorful. If you're new, they have tutorials which is nice (also makes gameplay a little longer). Most games are like $1 for 4-5 rounds - except for Mario kart which was kind of a scam. Overall, it's a lot of fun for dates or hangouts or to play something different than pinball machines. I did see a lot of toddlers and it's not a place for toddlers. Most toddlers would ask their parents to play a game but they would get bored or confused and leave after the parent inserted the coins to play said game. Take them to Chuck E. Cheese instead or like Malibu jacks nearby.

It was not too busy when we got there but by the end all the tables were fairly full. Started off with their BOGO SAKE and a few beers . Ordered the chefs choice of sashimi and were pleasantly surprised with the selection given . It was fresh and delicious. I little thickly cut but the taste was very good. A little yellowtail, white fatty tuna and albacore to start it off with a delicious yummy roll that melted into my mouth. We ordered a few bento boxes because for the price you just had too . It was affordable , fresh, pleasant and full of flavor . From the wonton soup , to the shrimp tempura , to the orange chicken my family was happy. Will definitely be back and ended the evening with the owner stopping by at the table to ask how was the food which just made me feel welcomed and ready to come back soon ! Give it a try next time you are in the area. Nice little gem in between lots of good staple restaurants .

Although this restaurant is right at the corner of Littleton Blvd and Santa Fe, blink and you'll…read moremiss it. The only reason why I know about this restaurant is because a gift card I got, which listed Sushi Basho as one of the restaurants I can use my card. When entering the door, diners are greeted by a big aquarium. It's actually a great way to stare at the tank and its creatures while waiting to be seated. A table of 8 was arranged and set for us, and in a couple of minutes, we were escorted to our table. Colorado can be brutal in the winter, and this evening, sitting right near the door, I felt chills each and every time the front door was open. However, the heat from the above heater did keep me warm every now and then. As we looked at the menu, I realized there are a lot of options for us to choose. If one doesn't like sushi, they can order some other types of food including their dinner boxes, which a friend and I decided to do. My dinner box came with a small side salad, a choice of miso or hot and sour soup, and the main meal box. Other friends ordered various types of sushi, boiled fish, and a bowl of pork katsu. All enjoyed their food and said they would go back again to eat here. My box meal contained rice, 4 pieces of coconut shrimp, gyoza, a variety of tempura including shrimp and taro, and the main star of the box: salmon with vegetables. Everything was delicious and I did eating everything, but the taro tempura was so good! Perfectly cooked to where, when bitten, it was crunchy on the outside and had great texture inside. It's hard to describe it, and my suggestion is to ask them to prepare one or two taro tempura so that you can have the same eating experience. I was very happy to be able to enjoy a great meal here. I would come back another day and try one of their lunch specials. My grade is a B+.

They have kept dues low to keep it affordable and as I have said the quality and training is excellent!

I signed my son up a couple of years ago as he wanted to start taking martial arts classes but…read moredidn't know much about it. After searching the internet, I found this traditional Aikido dojo located right here in Denver. We were so impressed with the size - not that size matters, but this dojo is 5 or 6 times bigger than the other small dojos I was considering and having a large mat to practice on allows the kids to flow, run, and move more freely, helping them to perfect their techniques without running into a wall. Also, this dojo wins hands down on perfecting such an authentic traditional feeling that it is like we are literally practicing Aikido in Japan. The quality of the instructors was another reason I ended up taking classes as well. I now have all three of my kids taking Aikido and I recommend it to parents who are interested in a safe, comfortable, and friendly environment with some of the best instructors I have found. Also, the kids classes are so affordable that even parents with larger families can afford to have all the kids taking lessons. The best perk is that this dojo is connected to the best Japanese restaurant in the Nation! We love to eat at Domo right after kids class! I highly recommend Aikido Nippon Kan.
