Good food, delicious local steaks and a great patio. They'll let you try the wine before you commit which I recommend you do.

Breakfast place. Like dinner food but a little more homemade. Huevos Rancheros are real good and so are the Sante Fe Cakes. The latter is also gluten free.

This place is great. Good for adults and/or kids. They redid the kids section and it is super fun. I believe they also let you leave and come back in the same day if you get a wrist band before you go.

Getting Around

You can go up valley to Aspen with lots of local stops in between or on the express bus (BRT or Veloci-RFTA). You can also use it to get to Glenwood Springs and as far as Rifle. There is a connection here for a local Carbondale bus called the Carbondale Circulator. The closest stop to the apartment is by the Rec Center on the corner of N 6th St and Colorado Ave.
