I guess I ought to have wished for a room with a more traditionally scenic view – maybe the river or downtown or whatever. But on the other hand: while this isn’t “scenic” in the traditional sense, I was very fond of the three lighted windows in an otherwise dark building across the street.

You probably already know this tip for eating in diners: always try for counter seating. That’ll give you a better behind-the-scenes view of the place, and give you the chance to photograph the time-saving technique of putting tableware and napkins in the glasses. You may have a little bit more time to chat with the servers.
And you’ll get to skip the line (which was out the door the day we were there).

First of all, Larimer Square isn’t a square in the, you know, precise and geometric sense of the term. It’s really one block long, with shops and stuff along both sides of the street.
Second, if you go just at dusk, the shop windows become quite photogenic.
