5280 Denver Restaurant Week Parker and Douglas County Restaurants Participating

5280 Week in the Denver metro area is one that food lovers wait for all year long.

Local area restaurants serve scrumptious, mouth watering cuisine for the outrageously inexpensive price of $52.80 for two.  This often even includes wine and dessert.  For those of you that may be new to the Denver Metro area and aren’t familiar with what the significance of 5280 is… Denver is The Mile High City and is 5280 feet above sea level.

Last year to help out the local economy the organizers of Denver Restaurant Week decided to hold it over for an additional week with only a small portion of the restaurants participating in the second week. In 2010, Denver Restaurant Week will be held for two weeks, from February 20 – March 5, 2010.
