"1615 Pearl St(303) 544-5803http://www.artandsoulboulder.com/. Art + Soul offers a unique and sophisticated variety of fine art and jewelry presented in an atmosphere that is colorful and welcoming. The gallery occupies 3000sq ft on the East End of Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall."

"A few highlights: Art + Soul Gallery, Cedar and Hyde, Chelsea, Nod and Rose, Two Sole Sisters and John Atencio jewelry. Most shops in downtown are locally owned, making this a one-of-a-kind shopping experience."

"Flatiron Crossing is the indoor mall component of Broomfield's expansive shopping, dining, entertainment and business district along the Boulder Turnpike. Anchor stores are Macy's, Nordstrom, Dillard's and Dick's Sporting Goods. In addition to 200 shops and restaurants, Flatiron Crossing has a movie theater with comfy, reservable lounge chairs and a popular summer concert series complete with Beer Garden."

"Known as the "less local" more mainstream mall of Boulder, the 29th Street Mall boasts big names such as Nordstrom Rack, Macy's, and Victoria's Secret. Dining can be found just around the corner at Colorado Pizza Kitchen, Noodles & Company, and Mad Greens. Catch a movie at Boulder Century Theater and then grab dessert at one of Boulder's best frozen yogurt spots, Spooners, where you're charged by the ounce and toppings abound."

"The Twenty Ninth Street Mall in central Boulder features more chains and big names than anywhere else in town. Here, you’ll find Victoria’s Secret, Nordstrom Rack, Lululemon, Macy’s, Anthropologie, Apple, Sephora, H&M and more. The mall actually has several different sections separated by roads, so make sure you visit them all."

"Alcove on Arapahoe (also known as Arapahoe Village), 2798 Arapahoe Ave., is a smaller shopping center in central Boulder. The anchor here is Safeway, but shoppers also love to get home goods at Homegoods, Pier 1 Imports and JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts. This is also where to find a Petco in Boulder."

"The Village is a collection of more than 40 locally owned shops centrally located between Arapahoe and Canyon and 28th and Folsom streets. This is an outdoor strip mall, but it’s nicely appointed and home to some of Boulder’s most beloved staples, such as McGuckins Hardware (seriously, it has everything), Grandrabbits Toy Shoppe, Colorado Multisport and Pedestrian Shops (which also has a Pearl Street presence). Also make sure you visit women’s clothng store JJ Wells and Epic Mountain Gear, to name a few of the highlights here."

"This gigantic play area is a free activity center that offers families a break while shopping at the Denver Premium Outlets mall. The playground is open to the public, even if you’re not on a shopping trip. Super-tall slides, climbing towers, and large nets dominate the playground."

"Crossroads Commons, 2905 Pearl St., is a busy shopping area at the end of Pearl Street. The heart here is the ever-packed Whole Foods, but the Barnes & Noble and Bicycle Village are also big draws. Crossroads Commons is also a great place to get a massage, mani/pedi, haircut, fake tan, tooth cleaning and bikini wax — maybe not all in one sitting, although you could do them all without having to get in the car."

"Call or see website for more information(303) 546-3572https://www.naropa.edu/about-naropa/events/art-exhibitions/. The Naropa University Galleries offer an experience of the arts in a contemplative environment committed to the human experience of visual, perceptual and energetic transmissions through art."

"Sushi Zanmai has been voted the best sushi restaurant in Boulder (and also in the Japanese cuisine category) for many years running. It’s the best of the best, a true local favorite, and is perfect for anything from a delicious lunch special, to sushi-fueled karaoke night, and everything in between. It has a well-deserved reputation in Boulder (even besides the yearly Best title) for being the absolute best, most authentically Japanese, tastiest sushi you’ll find in the state, let alone the city of Boulder."

"There’s a nice variety of good sushi spots in Boulder, but this is our favorite. Not necessarily because the fish is leaps and bounds above other places (though it is really good), but because the atmosphere, location, and general vibe at Zanmai make it an overall winner. Plus there's a good Happy Hour and late-night karaoke."

"Known for its modern take on favourite Chinese dishes, this is a delightful restaurant on the outskirts of Boulder City. On top of the traditional Chinese classics and buffet, Tsing Tao also serves a great selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes. Guests can enjoy a flavoursome dining experience or opt for takeout or delivery."

"Cake pops are adorable, sweet, fun, and you can eat so many in one sitting. Tee and Cakes have a variety of cake pop flavors and designs that you can get customized for any event. From classic flavors like chocolate and vanilla to more decadent flavors like chocolate maple bacon, chocolate peanut butter pretzel stout, and even lemon lavender!"

"Our love for food is as strong as our love for the community.” Shamane’s Bake Shoppe is locally owned and operated, bringing Boulder some of the best baked goods on the market. Pastry Chef Shamane Simmons bakes her pies, cakes, pastries, and other desserts from scratch, using a variety of locally produced ingredients and gluten-free options to give customers the highest quality baked goods possible. Whether you’re in the mood for sweet or savory on January 23, Shamane’s has you covered."

"Mexican Hot Chocolate, the perfect accompaniment to a snowy day. Get the best service, good food, and more from this charming dining spot, owned and managed by local pastry chef Shamane Simons. Many of the offerings of Shamane’s Bake Shoppe are made from locally sourced ingredients by a team of trained and experienced staff."

"Boulderites love to support small local businesses, especially if it means relishing handmade pastries from scratch. Shamane's Bake Shoppe is situated far from busy Pearl Street in an East Boulder business park. The tiny, unassuming cafe displays sweet and savoury French pastries and confections at the counter."

"Etai’s Bakery Cafe is a thriving institution that features four full-service restaurants, six bakery-cafes, a catering company, and an American-style bakery. The cafe is one of the best in the area, offering a cozy indoor dining space, outdoor dining, fast and amicable service, a juice bar, and a wide assortment of food and beverages. You can expect a one-customer service at this spot, as even the offerings can be made based on your preference or dietary restrictions."
