Top-down management
The mean boys at the office are calling the new Volkswagen Eos a Penelope Pitstop car. And maybe they’re right. But, still, there’s nothing like the sight of a new-to-the-U.S.-market convertible zipping down the freeway to get you thinking about popping the top and speeding off into spring.
Wheeled goddess
Lucky European motorists have had a chance at the Eos for a whole year. Now its our turn to take the wheel of VWs quick little hardtop convertible the lid peels back in 25 seconds named for the goddess of dawn and wind in your hair. Two doors and 250 ponies under the hood. Base model available in bad-girl red.
Melts in your mouth
It might take a topless tuna sandwich to melt the last few winter drifts from the mind. Zaidys does it up right, a pile of herbed albacore tuna on grilled rye, topped with tomato and caramelized onion and a barely singed crust of Monterey jack cheese. It comes with a top, handy for two-fisted eating, but you can peel it back and go after your lunch with a knife and fork instead.| Tuna Melt, $8.50, Zaidys, 15th & Lawrence, Denver
Picture of family harmony
Amy and Joe Findeiss blow the lid off the notion of sibling rivalry with their exhibition of collaborative portraits now hanging at City O City, the restaurant where Joes a waitron. Amy paints portraits from old family pictures; Joe finishes them up with elegant, retro collage. On the walls through March 31. | Saints and Sailors: Collaborative Works by Amy and Joseph Findeiss, City O City, 206 E. 13th Ave., Denver
Soda-can chic
Brazilian artist Neide Ambrosio was new to Rio de Janeiro and feeling
a little restless until she found inspiration in a woman who was making
belts from found objects. Ambrosio put her own spin on the idea, crocheting
together the little aluminum tabs from pop cans to create bags
and accessories. | Neide Ambrosios Golden Conch, $75, Novica.com
