Pikes Pick: A flavorful adventure at north-side sushi spot in Colorado Springs
My kind of sushi? The pretty standard stuff, I admit. You know, the California roll and those tried-and-true combinations of spicy tuna, crab and shrimp tempura. Recently at Sushi Ato (12245 Voyager Parkway), my platter included colorful creations of salmon, yellowtail, mango and caramelized miso. Turns out it’s good to get out of your comfort…

2-Minute Review: Get to know your matcha at BrewCHA Tea Lounge
Slow down. That’s what the owner of BrewCHA Tea Lounge wants people to do when they come by her shop.

With a six-year gap between albums of her own, it seems strange to say Phoebe Bridgers has been a rising voice of a generation. It took six years between “Punisher” and the recent, critically acclaimed “Lost Weekend,” but Bridgers has still been busy. Her 2023 collaboration called Boygenius was, well, pretty genius. And now comes…

Pikes Pick: Colorado Springs abides by Lebowski’s Taproom
It’s just, like, my opinion, man. But it’s easy to understand why a “Big Lebowski”-themed bar and restaurant recently expanded to a second location in Colorado Springs (9633 Prominent Point). It’s easy to understand after I finally abided and checked out the original Lebowski’s Taproom at 3240 Centennial Blvd., where the decor honors The Dude…

Pikes Pick: Book Bash in Colorado Springs to celebrate all things bookish
A local bookstore is not just a store. It’s a place to feel alive, to find stories that remind us what it is to be human. Stories remind us we are not alone, and local book stores do the same: Here are people just like us, seeking serenity between the shelves, looking for stories. It’s…
