This isn’t your typical bowling experience. Strolling through the many corridors to get to the actual bowling alley leaves you a bit starry-eyed and breathless, and I think that is their intention at The Broadmoor. I visited here on a chilly Fall night just before dusk and it was a sight to see. Parking was…

Touchdown at Panino’s
When I was growing up, Italian food was always my absolute favorite! I remember a time when I thought Olive Garden was the best restaurant ever. It made me feel adult and sophisticated at the tender age of 14, but now that my palate has matured with age and exposure I’ve discovered a new love…
Molto Delizioso!
Interestingly enough, I was up in Evergreen, CO, a few weeks ago and was in desperate need of some new reading material. I walked around the cabin I was staying in and glanced down at a somewhat concealed bookshelf next to the bed. I reached down and grabbed this book; dusted it off and…
Wobble over to the Wobbly Olive
When I first heard we were visiting the Wobbly Olive, my thoughts centered on their rumored grandiose drink selection. The word on the street is that these drinks are, well, art! There are meticulous recipes that are followed to produce these cocktails and I was excited to venture up to the North side of Colorado…
I like my eggs…Over Easy!
Ever since I was a girl, breakfast has been my thing. For me, there’s nothing like waking up to a streaming plate of pancakes with bacon and eggs. Or a breakfast burrito loaded down with chorizo, eggs, potatoes, and sausage. In our family, a hot breakfast signaled the beginning of a great weekend! As we began…
Let’s take a journey…no, an Odyssey!
We went on a journey to Odyssey Gastropub this weekend to check out the first ever “gastropub” in Colorado Springs. What used to be a popular grungy sports-bar has now been transformed into a trendy booming pub! This place draws many patrons with its allusion to old school “gastropubs.” Conceived back in London circa 91’…
Time for Thai!
Written by KB Since moving to the Springs from Atlanta, I’ve been craving good Thai food. I tried several spots who claimed to have “the best Thai food” in Colorado Springs and each one was a disappointment. I nearly gave up on Thai in the springs, but after starting this blog a fellow taster suggested…
Phantom Canyon Foodies
Written by Mandra Six years ago, I moved from Dallas to Colorado Springs and our first stop was Phantom Canyon Brewery. Why? Well, it had wonderful reviews and I was looking for an IPA (India Pale Ale) to celebrate just signing a new lease with my husband. And I was not disappointed! Our visits became a weekly occurrence. It was…
A Merry Gold Time at Marigold’s
Walking into a packed Marigold Cafe, we were immediately greeted by the sight of amazing pastries. It’s definitely worth the drive there for the dessert alone! As it was a Friday night, we weren’t the only ones who decided Marigold Cafe was the place to be, so naturally it was packed. Although it was crowded,…
Tapas for the win at TAPAteria
Part of the reason why my husband and I started Culinary Capers was a way of getting out of the house and getting me out of my comfort zone to meet new people, especially since I have been known to be a bit of a homebody. We’ve lived in several different cities around the country, including…
