Where to go in Colorado? Our personal favorite is on this list - Little Man Ice Cream. Literally anything there is good, but the non-dairy flavors are particularly exceptional, so even people with food sensitivities can partake.

There's almost always a line, but if you go in the evening there is often live music and dancing. Friday night date night = planned! And YUM.

Don't want to drive all the way to Denver for this treat? You CAN get a few flavors in Boulder at Avanti F&B, a collective eatery at the Lost City coffee purveyor on the first floor. It's better than not getting Little Man at all!

And if you find you just have to move to another city because of the ice cream, let us know, we can help! wink-wink!

"Popular migration destinations where home prices soared during the pandemic–including Boise, ID, Phoenix and Tampa, FL–are most likely to see the effects of a housing downturn amplified and home prices decline year over year if the economy goes into a recession, a scenario that some economists believe looks likely as inflation persists and stock markets stumble. Homeowners in those areas who are considering selling may want to list their homes soon to avoid potential price declines."
