Best of 2012: Place to Meet Women
Best of 2012: Bar Crowd
The name implies the atmosphere it exudes: classy, the type of place where people "power lunch," if that exists in Colorado Springs. However, at night (per our loyal readers), this is the top place to pick up women. "It has a professional atmosphere that appeals to women," says bartender Jenni Tillotson. Want to buy the lady a drink? Check out the extensive martini menu, particularly "The Matchmaker," a blend of X-Rated Fusion Liqueur, ruby red vodka and pineapple juice. "It's sexy and sophisticated," says Tillotson, and maybe it'll even achieve what the name implies. — Celine Wright
Bites 2013: Voodita Salad
Pretty much anywhere on Ritz's menu where you see the word "Voodoo" in any form, you can't go wrong. The Voodoo chicken tenders, sandwich and burger all benefit from the spicy sauce, but this Voodoo Chicken-enhanced salad also sees heat from poblanos and jack cheese, plus crunch from red onions, bell peppers and fried tortilla strips. Some ranch dressing cools it down, but not before the magic's done its work. ($9.50 lunch, $11 dinner)
