Maker
Craftsmanship abounds in the eclectic Maker, tucked behind Mezzaluna on Cooper Avenue. Not only will you find the best of globally sourced textiles, clothing and furniture for the Aspen lifestyle, you can also sit and sip locally roasted organic coffees and homemade chai at the store’s Local Coffee House. Enjoy delicious doughnuts and other curated breakfast and lunch bites while deciding which goods to take home. The vibe is about community and nurturing rather than the hard sell. Daily, 7am-7pm, 614 E. Cooper Ave., makerandplace.com
Aspen Art Museum
Cruise through the Aspen Art Museum and its always-free exhibitions of important evolutions in international contemporary art, and be sure to stop in the expertly curated design shop on the ground floor. When done, simply follow your flow up the stairs to SO, the best-kept secret in Aspen nibbles. With an exquisite view of Aspen Mountain, there is no better place to contemplate the works you have just experienced. Julia and Allen Domingos create cuisine that pairs perfectly with the art. Enjoy a glass of wine or a Colorado craft beer. Tue.-Sun., 10am-5pm, 637 E. Hyman Ave., aspenartmuseum.org
