Best brunch in Boulder! Ask for a 99 cent Bloody Mary with your meal or spend a bit extra for a bigger fancier one. Only two blocks from my apartment. Go early or late on the weekends if you don't want a long wait.

One of my favorite spots. You get a little for your money but it's so delicious. If you're hungry I recommend a Torta or about three empanadas. They have beer on tap as well. Just two blocks from my place.

Great food. I love some of their vegetarian options, especially the vegetarian reuben. Mountain Sun is the closest, located on Pearl Street, but there are two other locations as well with slightly different food menus. Southern Sun and Under the Sun are a bit further on the south end of town.

Trails galore and so much beautiful scenery. This is a busy park on the weekends and even during the week so it's not a place to go find solitude usually. They have a dining room that I hear has good food but I've never tried myself.

You can hike or drive to the top of Flagstaff. This is one of my favorite spots in Boulder because you can pick your spot and scenery when you get to the top. You can look out at the city if you're in to that or you can turn around and walk west and have a nice peaceful view of the Indian Peaks to the west of Boulder.

The Pearl Street Mall is so much more than a mall. It's several blocks of well known and unique shops, cafes and restaurants and bars. Also lots of street performers on most milder weather nights line the mall with entertainment. Some of my favorite places on Pearl Street are already listed here but also include Peppercorn, Boulder Bookstore, Orzo Coffee and the hot dog stand!
