While you're in town
Boulder, our way
A handful of trails, tables, and corners we love. Use these as a starting point — and ask us if you want a longer list.
HIKE
3 picksChautauqua
The classic Boulder hike — a gentle climb to the foot of the Flatirons that we never get tired of.
Mount Sanitas
Quick, steep, and worth it — about ninety minutes round-trip to one of the best valley views in town.
NCAR Trail
An easy mesa loop with huge skies and the I.M. Pei lab to wander through afterward.
EAT
3 picksFrasca
Our special-occasion spot — northern Italian, generous hosts, book ahead.
Pizzeria Locale
Frasca's casual sibling — wood-fired pies that ruined chain pizza for us forever.
The Sink
A scrappy campus dive with great burgers — Obama ate here, and so should you.
DRINK
3 picksAvery Brewing
Big, friendly taproom east of town — the place we always end up on a sunny afternoon.
Sanitas Brewing
Small patio, killer tacos, and beers named after the hike you probably just did.
Bramble & Hare
Snug farm-to-glass cocktail bar — perfect for a slow second drink before you head back.
