Asian Avenue Magazine

What happened to Denver? Asian Avenue Magazine happened.
This magazine represents unity between Denver and its Asian American community. Whenever visitors ask, «what’s good» in Denver, I pass them a magazine that’s available practically anywhere. They have events as simple as a high school culture show to something as HUGE as the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival.
AAmag is legit in shaping what Denver is going to become. It is single handedly creating the bridge that is «Asian America». They host one of the biggest growing events in Colorado; the Miss Asian American Colorado leadership program. And they continually feature the lives of outstanding individuals who deserve recognition in the community with issues such as the «Asian American Heroes».
Simply put:
If you’re in Denver and don’t grab an issue of AAmag every month… you’re falling behind.

One of the first things I did when I moved to Denver was find this magazine. It’s a great way of familiarizing with the local Asian community. As a bonus, I like the restaurant advertising since it’s the Asian restaurants that target an Asian consumer. I’m a little surprised that Denver has a magazine like this, since Seattle had a larger Asian population yet lacked a Asian magazine (or at least one written in English… hehe).
One more nice thing about this is what they don’t have. Unlike many of the freebie papers, they don’t have any medical marijuana advertising. While some of the other papers are plastered cover to cover with «medicine» ads, this one isn’t. I guess you can interpet that different ways. Maybe it’s not allowed, maybe the dispensaries don’t consider it a target market… either way I enjoy not seeing it.

Look forward to every issue. Denver has a good-​sized Asian community, but it doesn’t have a voice. Basically, asian avenue magazine is THE definitive resource for asians who want to know what is going on in the community every month, with upcoming event descriptions and important news. Events range from new years celebrations to asian art exhibits. The restaurant reviews are pretty handy too. Layout is clean, easy to read, and uncluttered

If your into Asian culture, check it out!

This is the Westword/​5280 of the Asian community in Denver…
Great magazine! Seems like they just started up not too long ago in the Denver metro area. The magazine features Asian cuisine restaurants in the Denver area along with news on upcoming events in the community and even little segments to learn about Asian culture. They are also real good about reaching out to the community to create a sense of unity. They also support all small/​large businesses and seem have a lot of support towards higher education.
I’ve seen the magazines at most Asian restaurants, they are pretty good about distributing at almost all asian restaurants and stores from what I’ve seen. I always like supporting the little guy if you read a lot of my reviews, and this one is a definite MUST! It’s a great source of asian restaurants if you’re looking for new Asian cuisines!
If you ever seen one, pick one up! It’s free!
