If you like comedy, you should visit The Crystal



Palace. This Aspen landmark was established

in 1957, and has been offering quality dining

with satire comedy ever since. The interior of

the restaurant is done in a Victorian style, with

beautiful stained glass windows, sparkling

chandeliers, and vintage furnishings.

If you take politics very seriously, this may not

be the type of comedy you enjoy. The majority

of the comedy acts and musicals have a

political slant to them, and the staff performs

most of the acts. The Crystal Palace is located

in the heart of downtown Aspen, on Hyman

Avenue.

The food is the best you can find anywhere.

Prime Rib, Rack of Lamb, Fish, Seafood, and

Roast Duckling are served. Don't make the

mistake of just showing up ? call ahead for

reservations. The Crystal Palace is open

Tuesday through Sunday in the evening for

dinner and a show. You should definitely make

it a point to eat here at least once while you

are on your Aspen vacation, as this is a

traditional part of Aspen nightlife for locals and

guests.
