Denver is my dream place to live! Currently 17, turning 18 years old soon as I'm writing this! I'd love nothing more than to escape the humidity and heat of Texas and live in a place surrounded by mountains, national parks, and world class ski resorts! I'll try my best to work as hard as I can to make my dream a reality! GO DENVER!

[@davechung]

I hope you make it here, Braxton! I’ve lived in a lot of places over the years, but Denver is my favorite and a place I love to call home. I firmly believe you can plan your life to get to where you want to be if you work hard at it, and I hope you make it here!

[@braxtonwalker5923]

@@davechung Aw, thanks for responding to me, and so soon after I wrote a comment, dude! I checked out some more of your videos and you seem like a really great guy who really goes into detail about what life in Denver is like, and I really respected you for being honest in one of your videos about the stuff people usually don't mention, like the cracked windshields in winter. So refreshing to be able to evaluate the good and bad in a video and consider them both constructively. You've definitely earned a subscriber from me!

[@ChunLily]

Dave! I'm going on my first ever vacation with a significant other only. Without the trail of Asian family. So happy I found your channel just in time. I have 1 week to binge watch and research Denver. But I love your take. Very thorough and anticipated questions and commentary. After 30 years of friendship. Me and my long time bro became a couple. All the guys+me have been friends since middle school. I was always their wingman save never did anyone think this would have happened with any of the dudes. We've been together for 2+ years and this will be my 41st birthday getaway. Kids & pups will be at home. I wish you & your wife were our actual friends so we could thank you in person for all your knowledge. I'm binge watching the rest of these and taking notes before our trip on the 10th. This was perfect cuz we're only stay for 3 days. I'm a tomboy sci Fi & comic, nerd, ABC Chinese, art lover & work as graphic designer. I love dogs & all animals. Mainly going as a form of physical/mental therapy for my struggles with fibromyalgia. Brian is Lao/Thai & is obsessed with all things paranormal + horror. In fact we watch a scary movie every night as we eat dinner & before bed. He is a major foodie but doesn't eat seafood or enjoy fruits/veggies. Also loves anything spicy. Loves trying new things. And it's athletic, morning person who enjoys coffee and the outdoors. Though he is quite the introvert and a bit shy compared to me who suffers from anxiety yet is willing to help a stranger or go the extra mile. Must be because I'm a native Texan. We are both GenZ and looking forward to finally taking a vacation after the long list of traumatic events and emotional year. Looking for the brass tacks and cliff notes of Denver. It's kismet that YT recommended you and empath gravitation helped me trust in the one click. Thank you for this video & all the rest! It's a great POV for a person who is planning our life to see if it's somewhere we could move to as well. Feel like kindred souls just seeing the stuff you recommended with no fluff! Big thanks! Lily & Brian from Dallas

[@davechung]

Lily! Thank you SO much for the comment, and I hope you and Brian have the best time here in Denver. I’m biased, but I think it’s a great place to be, and I appreciate the love so much. Nothing makes me happier than hearing that a video helped someone plan their trip to Denver. Thank you for making my day!

[@iamme50]

I truly looooove your honesty. No fluff. Just truth and straight to the point. I'm a new subscriber! I really loved living in Denver for the short time I did. I will be relocating to go back at some point.

[@davechung]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I hope you find your way back this way someday!

[@theasianallergymom]

We live here and have hardly done any of these things! 😆 Oops. So many great things to add to our list! Awesome video, Dave!

[@davechung]

😂 maybe you can check a few off when friends visit!

[@davidlyf2508]

I’m visiting from 5/5-5/8 so this video comes right on time

[@davechung]

Awesome, David! Hope you have a great time!

[@debbieannsmith8962]

Thanks for the video. Very informative! 🙂

[@davechung]

Thanks so much, Debbie!

[@TreyCary1]

Going there tonight! Thank you!

[@davechung]

Have a great time here, Trey! Looks like the weather will be awesome!

[@pattymiramontes1440]

damn, I've been planning my trip and these have been the best videos !

[@davechung]

Thank you so much, Patty!!

[@diningcolorado]

I dig it!

[@davechung]

Thank you so much for checking it out!

[@joseagarcia6799]

Nice interesting, see u next, thanks for sharing

[@eprohoda]

Dae, Super!you did breathtaking , have a nice day-

[@davechung]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@janepark6575]

This is hands down the best travel video i’ve ever seen. Informative, concise, and really in tune with common pain points/questions from someone like me who values flexibility and spontaneity. Also appreciate your balanced take on the food scene - more trustworthy than most other reviews out there :) Immediately subscribed! Thank you for your care in planning this video.

[@davechung]

Thank you so much!! That means a lot to me and made my day. I hope you have a great time out here!

[@Keithtimes]

Great review. Can't wait to try some of these out. I'm coming out for a guys sports weekend (MLB/NFL games) trip this Fall. Where do you suggest staying? Near good food, sports stadiums, transportation...

[@davechung]

Awesome! Hope you guys have a great time. If you don’t want to stay right downtown (LoDo), I’d take a look around Lower Highlands and Larimer Square. You’ll be a quick trip to the stadiums with plenty of food options nearby!

[@iknowbetterthanyou6260]

My Brother's Bar downtown is great.

[@davechung]

It is! Thanks for adding the suggestion! I have been wanting to do a bar video, but it’s really tough to film in low light and the audio is brutal 😀

[@Dale_3]

You're content on Denver has been incredible! Thanks for putting this together. Also love that Hugo made the cut for the background. Go Hornets!

[@davechung]

Thank you so much!! I'm so happy it's helpful. I love Charlotte, and I'm out there often!

[@carolinebeck1573]

I'm a Denver native. This should be interesting.

[@billhemingway5558]

You didn't touch on the music scene in Denver. There is usually lots of different concerts going on...many are even free.

[@davechung]

A great point and suggestion - thank you! Even though it’s not a top reason why people visit Denver, there are always a bunch of concerts.

[@jessellis5466]

@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Wow. You should get out more. There is all sorts of incredible music here.

[@KishiiGG]

Spot on video. Took all my friends and family that visited Denver to almost every location you mentioned here. :)

[@davechung]

Thank you! Appreciate that so much!

[@KishiiGG]

@@davechung No problem! I'd say another I would add too that I like to do after Avanti is go to Little Man Ice Cream, Inside Scoop, or Teastation in LoHi, and then walk along the Platte River. A lot of people love sitting on the hill at Confluence Park to watch the sunset.

[@davechung]

@@KishiiGG Yess, I often call that the LoHi triangle! 😀That's one of my go-to walks with people who are visiting.

[@larragunn2809]

You’re SO right about Asian food 😢

[@Tragedy4_7]

what i’m wondering is where to book my stay whats a cheap hotel that has 2 bedrooms?

[@cesarmunoz3129]

What about MobcraftDeetacko brewery and all the awesome breweries in rino district?

[@davechung]

The breweries are great for visitors for sure! I should’ve mentioned them, haha got stuck in family-friendly mode 😀Thanks for adding it as a suggestion!

[@jessievang651]

- Hi, I’m traveling to Denver in June. Where are the best pho spots? I googled map and I found that you guys have an Asian shopping mall district on federal Blvd? Any good food recommendations in that area would be great!! Thanks!!!

[@davechung]

Awesome! Denver in the Summer is the best. Ooh in that area for Pho, I'm a fan of Pho 95 and Golden Pho!

[@justamenace111]

I’ll be visiting Denver solo for a Broncos game this year! 🤩 I’d like to be able to walk to the shops and places to eat! Where would you suggest staying?

[@davechung]

Awesome! I hope you have a great time at the game! If you really want to be in the mix with a city feel (and all that comes with that, good and bad 😀), you could stay around Union Station to have easy walking access to a lot of stuff. If you want to be a little further out, but still a quick ride to the game, RiNo and Lower Highlands (LoHi) are worth looking at too!

[@justamenace111]

@@davechung Thanks so much! 😃

[@Rubio_Eric]

​@Dave Chung can u elaborate on the bad stuff by the union station? I'll be visiting in July. Thanks

[@davechung]

@@Rubio_Eric It's recently gotten better-still not great, but much better than before. There was a problem with homeless people doing drugs under Union Station (near the bus area), but there was a big effort by the city to clean it up. I'm by Union Station all the time at night when I park for Nuggets games, and I think it feels much safer than it did a few months back.

[@Rubio_Eric]

@Dave Chung appreciate my guy! Would it be easier to get a hotel down there and take the train everywhere or drive? We will have a car rental but if its hard to get around the city and parking is as bad as I hear it is then we may just walk and use the train.

[@LMiraculous]

Is Denver fast pace and diverse I will go to Denver it’s beautiful

[@davechung]

Depends where you’re coming from 🙂 it’s slower and less diverse than a very big city, but if you’re coming from a smaller city, it could have more of both! I love where I live.

[@LMiraculous]

@@davechung Denver is a big city?

[@davechung]

@@LMiraculous it’s big, but not compared to LA, NY, Chicago, etc. We’re closer to that Nashville, Austin, Portland, Charlotte size, the next tier down. All depends where someone is coming from 🙂

[@LMiraculous]

@@davechung ok hoepfully I won’t get lost in Denver is 3 days enough for my first visit I might move out there if I love it Denver is affordable?

[@davechung]

@@LMiraculous 3 days is solid! It was affordable about 6 years ago, but now it's one of the top 15 most expensive cities in the country. I hope you have a great trip here though!

[@metalgear4641]

All the places you said not to check out, i will check out. I know your secret

[@davechung]

😂 honestly wouldn’t be a terrible time. You’d still have fun!

[@localfocalkc]

You guys have way better Asian food than St Louis Memphis Kansas City! PHo for days!

[@jonasbrothersrockist]

South Park location.

[@18despues]

people go places for the food? u have food at home wtf am I crazy? especially since its just american food

[@marktravis5280]

Number 3 worst city in the world air pollution? Denver, Colorado. 170 bad things in the tap water? Denver, Colorado. Number one place to get your car stolen? Denver, Colorado. There's way more Info I lived here 58 years

[@chrisschulze8081]

Most cities now are terrible….politicians ruined them…

[@denvermade2841]

DENVER IS BORING. CANT WAIT TO MOVE OUT OF HERE.
