Q: Any cool places (coffee houses/bars/venues) near, or around the airport area where I can hang out and kill some time during those 4 hours? (BTW - is Denver cab fare expensive? In D.C. cabs determine fares by the zone system...is it the same in Denver?)
A: DIA has lots of restaurants, but is also has some interesting areas that most folks never see. I took a tour of the airport before it opened and they had some wonderful murals and a little museum about Elrey Jeppesen, who designed the first flight maps. Here are lists of all the shops and restaurants, but take some time to wander around the airport too, there's lots to see. http://www.flydenver.com/
