Fork It: Osteria Marco
Pools of melting goat cheese and dollops of sweet fig puree on a bed of pecorino, sprinkled with crunchy bits of prosciutto. If your mouth isn’t watering right now there’s probably something wrong with it.

Hindsight: Underground Music Showcase
If the festival's attendance figures are correct, The Post's Underground Music Showcase is indeed on pace to become Denver's version of South by Southwest--an event it eagerly compares itself to. SXSW, gearing up for its twenty-fifth year, pulls approximately 15,000 heads to Austin, Texas. The UMS, which just closed the books on its first full decade, is already approaching 5,000. No small feat at all. The scene on South Broadway yesterday—especially last night--definitely reminded me a little of SXSW's main artery in Austin--Sixth Street.

NocturnOwl: Kitty Kat Social @ Beauty Bar
Ladies nights have long been staples of nightclubs and bars. Get a hen party started and the men will follow. Getting said hen party started in the first place is the hard part. Martinis and manicures, a promotion NY-based Beauty Bar claims to have originated, works like a charm, though. Where else can a girl get her nails done while simultaneously getting hammered? Not many salons have liquor licenses, after all. Stiff cocktails and hand maintenance aren't the only things Denver's franchise has going for it either. Thursday's Kitty Kat Social is hosted by recent Westword “Best Non-Traditional DJ†award winner Ginger Perry.
