Help needed! What places nearby are good to eat and drink at? Are there any places further away worth the trip?
There are five relatively close distinct groupings of places to go in order of distance from the venue. Downtown, LoDo, Uptown, LoHi/Highlands, South Broadway.
Walking distance is up to 15 minutes walking. Google maps will help you decide if a Taxi/Uber is better for you. Keep in mind the free mall ride (just jump on at any stop) will take you to the edges of both sides of downtown to make the walk even shorter.

Places for Breakfast
Yes this is really important. 
Denver is really known for Mexican food. In particular, Green Chili. Sams No 3 is known for thier breakfast burritos.
Sam's Number 3 This place has award winning breakfast burrritos. Be sure you get them smothered in green chili. Trust us... you will have dreams about this for years to come.
Its about an 8 minute walk from the hotel (if even that). Be expected to see many Apache folks there.
Snooze Amazing breakfast.
Delectable Egg Good local breakfast spots. (two close to the venue)
Skiing
Yeah, you are reading right. World class skiing is not too far, but will likely require a car. Ski resorts are beginning to close, but a few are still open.

A local secret... Loveland is awesome and has a lot of bowls... not too far and doesn't get teh the crowds the other resorts get. The best snow is likely at A-Basin and Loveland due to their altitude.
