Dry Creek Café is a favorite destination for casual outdoor dining in the Heights. It's better known as a place for people-watching than for its average burgers and sandwiches. But there are some menu stand-outs including an impressive ahi tuna salad.

    Sure, you can't drink here -- but beer and wine will only fill you up, and you want to have plenty of room for all the delicious menu items at Dry Creek. Try a flavored limeade instead of a mixed drink as you dip into their fried goodies, tasty ­burgers and a great salad (order it with the creamy serrano dressing).
