Going Crazy Over The Absinthe Bar!


Talk about a happening place!  Denver's Lower Highlands neighborhood has a touch of Paris at the corner of 30th and Wyandot Streets, where Z Cuisine and A Cote Restaurants are located.  Z Cuisine opened first, but there was such a hue and cry for absinthe from the Lower Highlands masses that they had to open up A Cote, a "Bar a Absinthe," to satisfy the demand.  Both restaurants are right across the street from the former Gallery Sink, which was a well known photography gallery here in Denver.  I imagine this is why the entire west side of the building is covered in weather-worn black and white photographs.  One of them is of a very attractive woman, nude, hanging by her wrists from the ceiling of a ruined store.  A man is peering in at her through the front windows. This is, of course, high art. Now, if I tried to take a similar photograph, they would toss me in jail and throw away the key. What gives with that?  Perhaps if I just wore a beret.
