Ken Hamblin Thursday, May 6 Last December, the Preservery, 3040 Blake Street, launched Giving Meals — its way to allow customers to purchase a warm meal for people living on the streets in Five Points. Since then, the restaurant has given away 2,500 meals to its unhoused neighbors. On Thursday, May 6, the Preservery is holding a fundraiser to benefit the program. Restaurant co-owner Obe Ariss will take the stage with a classical piano performance; for $12, you can reserve a seat at one of two shows (5:30 to 7 p.m. or 7:30 to 9 p.m.).

Los Angeles chain Dave's Hot Chicken just opened an outlet in a brand-new apartment building at Broadway and Bayaud Street, right across the street from Denver's second Voodoo Doughnut.

There's an exclusive new spot in Cherry Creek called the Clayton Members Club & Hotel, and frankly, it's a little extra for most of us regular Denver folks. But if you don't want to drop two or three grand to gain access to private dining, a rooftop pool and lounge and other event spaces, there are a couple of street-level options now open to the public. Of a Kind is a wood-fired restaurant that debuted on Thursday, April 29, and its grab-and-go sibling, OAK Market, is also now open, offering coffee, upscale deli foods and ice cream. All of the food at the Clayton comes from the mind of execu...
