Old South Gaylord. Just five minutes from Cherry Creek and 10 minutes from downtown, this mostly residential neighborhood with a Rockwellian feel is also one of Denver’s oldest shopping and dining districts. Awning-covered storefronts capture the feeling of a time when life was simpler, giving the neighborhood a relaxed, laid-back feel. There are 60 shops, restaurants, and bars to tempt your taste buds and your sense of style as turn-of-the-century houses have been converted into shops, offering contemporary fashions, sporting goods, bicycles, and art. Washington Park is just four blocks east and is consistently voted Denver’s favorite park. Here you’ll find two lakes, two formal flower gardens, and expansive lawns, marking the perfect spot for spending the entire afternoon with a relaxing family picnic. You can also rent paddleboats and bikes and explore the park on water or by land.
