Denver Fashion Week is back for another full week of fashion, events and of course, food. We’re announcing the complimentary food that is present at each night of DFW. Like many of the designers in the shows, some of these restaurants are DFW veterans, while others are new to the event. Each night offers a unique culinary experience from some of the top restaurants in town. Nothing says spring DFW quite like fresh and local food. And doughnuts.
Habit Doughnuts Dispensary
Where: 1553 Platte St. #130, Denver
When: Saturday, March 23
The Lowdown: The shop known for their alcohol-infused doughnuts is coming to DFW. And while we can’t promise the doughnuts will have airplane-sized liquor bottles included, we can promise that you’ll love the colorful and creative array of doughnuts Habit is known for, including mini doughnut and doughnut holes.
Crush Pizza
Where: 1200 W 38th Ave., Denver
When: Saturday, March 23
The Lowdown: If the name — or place — looks familiar, that’s because it is. Crush Pizza was formerly known as Denver Deep Dish. While their name may have changed, their delicious food hasn’t. Crush Pizza will serve their Sicilian pizza bites; a classic Saturday night meal. And who says pizza and fashion don’t go together?
Postino LoHi
Where: 2715 17th St., Denver
When: Saturday, March 23
What’s on the menu: Would it be DFW without Postinos? A fan favorite at DFW, their fig and mascarpone on bruschetta and spicy pepper jam goat cheese on bruschetta have been known to make people go back for seconds, and thirds and possibly even fourths. Take it from us, you’ll be going back and forth all night.

The second dish is their chicken tinga bites, made with their house tostada topped with chicken tinga (shredded chicken thigh meat) and served with red pepper sauce, onions and cilantro.
