Colorado Springs Recs?

[wanderingenough]

I'll be staying near the Broadmoor for a conference next week. I'll be by myself for a couple days, then DH will meet me later in the week. We are planning to do Garden of the Gods/Pikes Peak when he gets there. Any recs for restaurants for the days I'm by myself, any shops to hit or exploring to do, etc? I'll have a rental car. Thanks!

I like Edelweiss German restaurant and it is in that area. Phantom Canyon in downtown has some good food and a great atmosphere.
Check out Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City. They'll be on the way to Pikes Peak but there are so many cute shops and boutiques in Manitou that I'd plan a few hours just to walk around.
Do you like craft beer? There are so many great breweries, but I love Rocky Mountain Brewery and Trinity.

Awesome! Thanks!

I was wondering if Manitou Springs would be cool to walk around, so that's helpful!

The penny arcades and the ice cream shop are pretty nice to walk around.
