Late night ice cream stop |
1111 13th Street (at College) Boulder, CO 80302 United States |
In Boulder it is always a good time for ice cream. That is why this small hole-in-the-wall scoop shop keeps the doors open well into the night. The cones are cheap and the ice cream, which comes in an array of creative flavors, is homemade on-site. You can actually watch the transformation of sugar and cream into a tasty chocolate chip or raspberry cheesecake flavor. The location on the Hill draws all sorts of characters, from hungry hippies to college professors to wandering tourists, making for an interesting wait in line. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Asian and American mix |
1117 Pearl Street Boulder, CO 80302 United States +1 303 473 4730 |
"Hapa," Hawaiian slang for the blending of Asian and American, is also the name of Boulder's trendy spot for sushi.The eclectic dining room has a sparseness that is distinctly urban. The bar brings in a DJ on the weekend and things get funky with jazz. Sushi is what the crowds come for, but you can also order a number of meat and seafood items, including a sweet Honey-Miso Salmon ($14) and the popular Hawaii Five-O ($19), French pork chops in a char-siu demi glaze.

Designer sushi |
1136 Pearl Street Basement Boulder, CO 80302 United States +1 303 938 0330 |
An open dining room provides quiet spaces for romance in this happening restaurant, but most of the action is at the sushi bar. This is definitely one of Boulder's places to be seen. Choose from over 100 sushi and sashimi selections, each one prepared right in front of you. Entrees feature a number of Pacific Rim seafood offerings. Enjoy items like Spicy Seafood Udon or Salmon Teriyaki. Most entrees come with Tamanishiki short grain rice, which rates as the highest quality rice in the world. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Classy sports bar |
1346 Pearl St Boulder, CO 80302 United States +1 303 440 3355 http://www.thelazydog.com |
Sometimes establishments that bill themselves as sports bars are nothing more than glorified locker rooms for the local softball teams. The Lazy Dog, however, does not fall into this category. Jerseys and sports memorabilia are judicially placed so that they do not border on overkill. Televisions are prominent, but not to the point of being distracting to those who only want to dine. The dinner and lunch menu are the same and feature a host of Salads, Pizza, Pasta dishes, and Sandwiches. See their website for further information. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Eclectic restaurant |
2525 Arapahoe Avenue Boulder, CO 80302 United States +1 303 449 2001 |
Bright Tuscan colors, gold toned walls, figurative paintings and large metal insects comprise the flair of this unique restaurant. The wait can be long, especially on weekends, but the lively bar is a perfect spot to wait for a table. The restaurant prepares fresh flatbread pizza from 100 percent organically grown flours. If you feel like having a sandwich, try something from the Smash collection - a mashed specialty where everything, including the French fries, is piled between bread. Review © 2007, Wcities |
