Denver, CO

Denver is where Jack Kerouac had raging parties and pool hall times with his partner in crime, Neal Cassady. Denver is capital of one of the most progressive Western states, with legalized marijuana and a counterculture that puts this city at number three within the hipster city pantheon. Nomads can disappear into the Rocky Mountains via Mount Evans, or stick around in town and check out the South Broadway District, with its wide variety of crazy boutiques. Skylark Lounge has great underground bands and lots of pool tables, Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs has rattlesnake hotdogs, and there are breweries everywhere you look. What more could you want?
