Hey, Colorado women, crowdsourcing for an article I'm writing. Where do you like to go for lunch with other women for the following reasons:

1. Making a good, professional impression?

2. To see and be seen?

3. Catching up with each other and have a few laughs?

4. Broker a business deal?

Thanks, in advance.

Writing about restaurants is one of my favorite things because it's such a difficult industry that brings people so much pleasure. I recently got to interview Jennifer Jasinski about relocating her iconic restaurant, Bistro Vendôme. Imagine closing a restaurant that had a decades-old following and moving it across town, hoping the old customers will follow while attracting new ones.

A taste of Paris has arrived in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood, channeling the Place Vendôme, an historic square in Paris where locals gather.
