Luca is a rustic Italian restaurant in Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood, built around hand-cranked pasta, house-cured salumi, and a wood-fired kitchen. Named for chef-owner Frank Bonanno's son, the restaurant reflects his belief that Italian cooking is at its best when it's a communal act — dishes meant to be passed around scorched wood tables over glasses of wine chosen from a 100% Italian list. The space accommodates private gatherings in several configurations: an intimate private dining room for up to 18 seated guests, a semi-private section of the main dining room for up to 40 seated, and a full restaurant buyout for parties of up to 70 seated. Each option brings the same in-house kitchen — house-made burrata, custom-cured products, and seasonal pasta — to a private-event format with the cozy, personal service Luca is known for.

A group of distinguished Denver Country Club members who only desired a golf club created Cherry Hills Country Club in 1922. The Club was formerly known as The Cherry Hills Club in honor of a cherry orchard that was situated on its property. The Club's founders had the vision and intelligence to hire William S. Flynn to create the course. Flynn, who was born in Philadelphia, was regarded as one of the top designers of golf courses in his era. He was paid a generous $4,500 to create Cherry Hills, which he described as having no counterparts and few equals in terms of design. Cherry Hills is still regarded as one of the real classic golf courses in the history of American golf because it has endured the test of time. The game's biggest stars have trod Cherry Hills' fairways, and the Mile High jewel appears to have many more years of championship golf ahead of it.
