Since the attractions of the Fiske Planetarium occur inside, it does not matter if it is the dead of winter or summer. Guests can enjoy films, live talks, laser shows, concerts, and special events at the Fiske Planetarium."

"Don't be fooled by the tired lobby with its '80s-era displays: Fiske has one of the hottest projection and sound systems around, making for spectacular shows on its 65ft-diameter dome ceiling. Add to that seats..."

"Visual Arts Complex1085 18th StreetBoulder, CO 80309(303) 492-8300http://www.colorado.edu/cuartmuseum/.

They can also visit the museum and watch the various item put on display there."

"In the early 1930s-1950s, a small group of scientists established the National Center of Atmospheric Research to address major challenges the society faced at the time.

"Turley's Kitchen has all the classic breakfast options one can wish for. With entrees like omelets, benedicts, and foods "from the griddle" there is no going wrong. If you're looking for some sweet options, their "Monkey Bread," the first item on the breakfast menu is house-made, cinnamon caramel bites with cream cheese drizzle and candied pecans."

"Along with having over 30 specialty ales made in house, Fate Brewing Company also smokes their meat to utter perfection, creating a Reuben unlike any other filled with melt-in-your-mouth pastrami, gooey cheese and tangy sauerkraut. They also strive to serve local ingredients, all while putting an innovative twist on classic favorites like their (yet again) house-smoked hot wings and brisket gyro. #SpoonTip: Their original Reuben is no longer officially on the menu but just tell your server that you want the traditional Reuben and they’ll make you one, no problem."

"The ambiance of Fate Brewing Company is that of laidback elegance and taste in more ways than one. Start your lunch off with their savory Caramelized Sweet Potatoes or the Country Fried Chicken Bites. For your main lunch course, be sure to indulge in either the Main Stay Burger or the FATE Cuban which are designed to pair perfectly with their craft beers."

"For varying international fare and an exquisite interior shipped over from Boulder's sister city, Tajikistan, try Boulder's Dushanbe Teahouse downtown on 1770 13th Street. You can find the likes of Indian samosas, Greek scramble, Szechuan tofu scramble, beef hash and eggs and more global options on their brunch menu. When it's nice out, sit on their outside patio that faces Boulder's Farmers Market and sits on Boulder Creek."

"If you’re looking for a twist on the traditional tea and pastry combo, this is the place. The unassuming storefront on Arapahoe Avenue opens into a serene sanctuary, and the menu features healing teas paired with natural and organic Korean food with plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. A Cup of Peace owner Ki Kim uses ancient Korean traditions, ingredients and recipes to craft health-focused teas for ailments ranging from indigestion to insomnia."

"A Cup of Peace is serving up authentic Korean cuisine in Boulder, and the best part, is that every dish can be made vegan!. The menu features entrees like Bibim Bop, Dup Bop, Bulgogi, Rice Noodle Bowl, and more!. You could even try a Korean Barbecue Burrito with tofu!"

"Named after a big part of Boulder’s population back in the ‘70s (hippies), Flower Child is on a mission to “spread positively delicious vibes and healthy food in Boulder,” and they’re doing a stellar job. From wraps, bowls, combo plates, and good old hipster (not hippie) avocado toast, Flower Child has your vegan needs covered. Some highlights of what you can find at Flower Child include: the combo plates, where you can mix and match tubers, deliciously prepared veggies of all kinds, and more, to create delicious signature entrees; and a robust kids’ menu with vegan, organic, gluten-free, or any other variation of dietary need your little ones may need."

"Everything at Flower Child is organic, even down to the wine and beer. All items on the menu are made from scratch, using farm fresh ingredients to ensure all vegan, paleo, and gluten-free guests have a delicious menu to choose from. And not to mention, every dish on the menu is under $15."

"This all-raw, all-gluten-free, all-vegan, all-organic restaurant really walks the talk. Everything at Thrive, which is located a few blocks from downtown, is prepared to order using fresh ingredients that are chock full of unaltered enzymes and nutrients. The dishes are bursting with flavor, and there’s personality to spare here: live-edge wood countertops are embedded with crystals and decks of tarot cards invite you to explore your destiny while you wait."

"Thrive is here to serve you an affordable lunch that fits with your diet. Get a superfood smoothie or salad for $8.88 or less. This quality food with these low prices are pretty hard to beat!"

"Tucked away at the eastern end of Pearl Street, Rapha Clubhouse is part clothing store, part cafe, and part cycling club. The Rapha Cycling Club hosts organized group rides a few times per week, including a lunchtime Humpday Hump Ride, and morning Saturday Open Club Ride. It’s the perfect way to combine your love for bicycling with fine coffee."

"Of all the things one might reasonably expect to find at a south Boulder shopping-plaza outlet with a name as all-American as The Breakfast Champion, Turkish food probably isn’t anywhere among them. But that’s exactly what this friendly little cafe specializes in. The full Turkish breakfast for (at least) two includes some 17 small plates — meats, cheeses, olives, nuts, spreads, halvah, and more — as well as fresh-baked bread; also on offer are pastries like borek and poacha; pastirma (cured beef) or sucuk (a type of sausage) with eggs; and traditional Turkish coffee service."
