1. A day in the life of
a hungry Pioneer
Take a virtual walk around the University of Denver campus to explore available eateries.

2. Start your day off right with a balanced
breakfast. For students who want more than a
simple bowl of cereal, Brueggers offers an
assortment of breakfast sandwiches and the
classic bagel and shmear.
3. To satisfy students caffeine
cravings, work-hard, play-hard
young people can pop next
door to find their fix at the new
and improved Starbucks on
University and Asbury.
4. For classic, greasy spoon
diner fare, head up the street
to Pete s University Café. But
do notice the vacancies from
recent restaurant closures
along the way.

6. Denver restauranteer, Josh
Epps attributes a lack of
parking to a number of dining
option closures that occur
around the DU-area. Instead,
he suggested delivery could
boost business, as Zaza s
Pizzeria is advertising
accordingly.
7. Just next door, Thai Basil, a
fast-casual, Asian fusion
café which has opened
within the last several
months, also jumped on
the delivery bandwagon.
This is the former location
of Garbanzo s which
closed its doors less than a
year ago.
8. Thanks to the fro-yo craze,
Nova Yogurt Co. opened on
University Boulevard so
passersby can indulge in a low-
fat dessert option, especially
now that the weather is heating
up.
9. Or if you ve still got that sweet tooth, get a
MOOve on and turn the corner at Evans Ave. for a
sweet treat at Ben and Jerry s.
10. You can also travel toward
the mountains a few blocks
further to experience the
original Chipotle location.
11. Providing Mexican fare, a full bar, late hours and occasional
entertainment, Illegal Petes proves to be a popular option
among the DU community.
12. Across the street, the University neighborhood awaits Snarf s
sandwiches with their stomachs growling in anticipation. Though
it was expected to open Monday, April 16, according to
founder and owner Jimmy Seidel, it appears furniture and food
products and the necessary elements for the first full bar for the
franchise, are slowly but surely making their way into the sub
shop.
13. Scheduled to open at the end of the
summer, jammed breakfast spot Jelly will
take the place of Tokyo Joe s on University
Boulevard. The original Capitol Hill location
regularly hosts a line out the door with
patrons willing to wait over an hour to try a
twist on the average breakfast.
