Food Scene
Boulder has been voted the "Foodiest Town in the U.S" by Bon Appetit magazine. There are more excellent restaurants and Happy Hours than I can list here. The following are just a few of my favorites, in no particular order, most within walking distance.
Rated Best Pedestrian Mall in the U.S. Most of the excellent restaurants in Boulder are found on the Pearl Street Mall. Summer months are quite entertaining on the Mall with dozens of street performers and live music. Wednesday evenings is Band on the Bricks = live band performances. Each week a different cover band.
