Snooze has a generous morning cocktail menu including several different types of Bloody Marys. Spend about $25 on breakfast, with a cocktail.

 

Walk off breakfast with a stroll through the popular shopping area on North College Avenue. Here you’ll find vintage stores, art galleries, music shops and clothing stores.

Admission costs $9.50 for an adult. The museum is closed Mondays.

Take a free tour of New Belgium Brewery. The 90-minute tour around the brewery includes a beer sampling. You can book your tour a month in advance. Be sure to reserve your spot, as spaces fill up quickly.

 

Grab dinner at Restaurant 415. The menu boasts a variety of small plates ranging from $3.60–9. When Pigs Fly, the restaurant’s popular chicken and waffle dish, is a delicious and filling option. Depending on how hungry you are, dinner at Restaurant 415 will run about $25.
