Editors’ note: The COVID-19 pandemic struck the Centennial State in mid-March, shuttering restaurants, stores, and other destinations and forcing Coloradans to remain at home for weeks. The timing of the outbreak made it impossible for our staff to research possible Editors’ Choice winners at the same level of scrutiny as years past, which is why they are not included alongside Readers’ Choice recipients in 2020.
