Highlands Ranch City Lifestyle asked three local movers and shakers how they like to spend their date nights. From an at-home cozy evening to a night on the town, you'll find something that interests you and your beloved.
Lone Tree Mayor Marissa Harmon and her husband, Chris, love to spend time right here in the Lone Tree community. Dinner at Sierra, followed by a show at the Lone Tree Arts Center suits them perfectly. Sometimes, it’s just the two of them; other times, their daughters join them. Marissa loves the steak tacos with a margarita, while Chris often orders steak fajitas and a whiskey neat. 2024's favorite LTAC shows included the Songwriter City show with Lee Thomas Miller and Wendell Mobley. They also enjoy the Lone Tree Symphony.
Highlands Ranch Metro District Board Chair Renee Anderson and her husband, Scott, enjoy being new to the empty nester lifestyle. Renee's dream date night involves walks in the evening at Redstone Park, which is near their home. She also enjoys dinner at Los Dos Potrillos in Highlands Ranch. Date nights at home involve family dinners around a Swiss-style raclette party grill, followed by watching movies at home with Scott. Renee's favorite movies are documentaries and historical fiction. Maybe someday, an inspiring local filmmaker will produce something local for Renee and Scott to watch together.
New transplants to the RidgeGate neighborhood, Dr. David Williams, President and CEO of UCHealth Medical Group, and Penny Williams, OD, love to dine out at the many fabulous restaurants the area offers. City Lifestyle caught up with them at Parker's Wolf Peach (we may have crashed their date), where Dave loves to order the scallops and Penny, who is allergic to shellfish, chose the Bison Ragu from the seasonal, rotating menu. As empty nesters who don't cook much, the Williams' also frequent Sierra, On the Rox, and Fiction Beer Co., where they enjoy playing the card game Phase Ten. Next on their list to try: Red Llama.
