For discriminating shoppers, Cherry Creek North can't be beat in Denver. The area on the north side of First Avenue embodies the good life, made up of a series of upscale boutiques and venues that include retail apparel, fine art, jewelry and a renowned shop of children's toys. There are a number of luxe salons and spas, even a cigar haven. Restaurants tend to revolve around creative cuisine, whether it's a grill, John Elway's steakhouse or a sushi bar. But it's not only for the highest tax brackets…scattered among the high-end venues are signs of normality that include Starbucks and even a Burger King. Cherry Creek North is the site of a nationally recognized summer arts festival, as well as a holiday outdoor ice rink, plus A Taste of Cherry Creek and other special events throughout the year.
