Westword recently published its 25th annual “Best of Denver” issue, and the Baker neighborhood was represented a total of 17 times.
In the “Shopping and Services” section (with a total of 36 awards), Baker is represented three times. Fahrenheit Books, 210 S. Broadway, “Best Literary Survivor on the Move: Fahrenheit’s remains one of the most eclectic, surprising and offbeat places to browse away an afternoon.” Dave’s Gold & Silver Exchange, 548 S. Broadway, “Best Coin Dealer in Uncertain Times: We like Dave Eichenberger’s shop because the folks there are friendly, well-versed in the eccentricities of coin collecting, never intimidating and eminently fair.” Sweet Action Ice Cream, 52 Broadway, “Best New Store on Broadway: This hoppin’ stretch of Broadway has been more than ripe for an ice cream store for a long time, and finally, Sweet Action, with its open-air storefront and funky flavors, delivers the goods.” Also, Fancy Tiger Clothing, 14 S. Broad¬way, won the readers’ choice for this award.
