I was voting for getting bagels or bakery to take back to the airbnb, but that didn&#8217;t work out, so we went <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallopcafe.com\/omelet.html\">Gallop Cafe<\/a>. I had avocado toast. We went past the building with the lacy exterior on the way to coffee, and I liked it so well I took another pic on the way to food.<\/p>\n<h3>Gallop Cafe<\/h3>\n<p>[portfolio_slideshow pagerpos=disabled exclude=&#8221;5576,5577,5578&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon we&#8217;ll go up to Boulder and wander around on the walking paths. Maybe find that Chinese restaurant that Mark likes.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite thing about our airbnb is these big double doors at the entrance. Denver (unlike Madison) is really rich in old commercial property that is rapidly being re-done into housing &amp; businesses. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlasobscura.com\/places\/linger-eatuary\">restaurant we went to last night<\/a> used to be a mortuary.
