Pink Flamingo
Samburu Grille
at the Denver Zoo
On East 23rd Avenue between
York Street and Colorado Boulevard
The Chilean flamingos who reside at the Denver Zoo are resigned to a dull diet of special pellets that keep their feathers bright, but you and yours can sip a more exiting treat named for them. The Pink Flamingo, $2.50 at the recently renovated Samburu Grille, combines a column of vanilla ice cream and a draw of pink lemonade or red cherry soda in a sweet, chilly pick-me-up.

Lunch is back in LoDo. Chef Andrea Frizzi puts together plates of “complicated simplicity.” A salad of fine Roma tomatoes with bufala mozzarella flown in from Gioia del Colle, near Naples. Piccante pizza perfectly crisped in an 800-degree wood-fired oven. Bellissimo!
