Today’s Life in Denver: Things Worth Waiting In Line For takes us to Little Man Ice Cream in Denver’s LoHi neighborhood. Why wait in the inevitable lines? So many reasons, and the awesome ice cream is the final reward.

Here’s what we love about waiting in line at Little Man Ice Cream:

1. You won’t be bored, promise! Yeah, you’ll probably see the line wrap up the block past Linger, but depending on the day, there are fantastic magicians out entertaining, great live music, dance lessons to watch or join, and outdoor movies. Want to plan your outing to what’s going on? Check out the calendar.

2. It’s not just ice cream, it’s a neighborhood gathering place. It’s a beautiful outdoor space with hula hoops for all ages, a slide and a park across the street for kids, and it’s a great place to relax and chat with your friends! Standing in the line is the urban version of slowing down and enjoying the moment. Go after dinner at Linger or Lola, or make Little Man the only reason you come by.

3. And if like us, relaxing is hard and you appreciate efficiency, there are three windows where you can order, as well as an “express” line that features only the most popular flavors. The main windows have dips, the most awesome ice cream sandwiches, and malts/shakes. Our fav flavor? Salted anything (there’s always at least one “salted” flavor). Start planning your order!

When you’re ready for a cool treat in LoHi any time of year (yeah, there’s a line in every season), c’mon out!
