Long ago, when viaducts still spanned the no-man’s-land between downtown and the Highland neighborhood, Denver’s bohemian crowd flocked to 15th and Platte streets for late-night coffee and cigarettes at Paris on the Platte, or to Muddy Waters on the Platte, just up the hill. But both coffeehouses are long gone (Paris on the Platte held on until 2015), and once-quiet Platte Street now bustles with gleaming office buildings and imposing apartments.
Room for Milly, named after flapper-era world traveler Milly Parker (whose fictional biography you can read here), is the latest project from Fiona Arnold and Jeffrey Knott, who also own Blue Sparrow Coffee and Queens Eleven.
