"You don’t have to be a Buff to get married at Folsom Field – but as a former CU student I have to say it’s one of the best wedding venues in Boulder!. Folsom Field Events has four different wedding spaces (the Rooftop Terrace & Lounge is my favorite). Three of the four venues have patios with views of the stadium and the Flatirons."
"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."

"Boasting one of the largest grassy knolls and located in the heart of Boulder, Scott Carpenter Park is perfect for adults and children alike. The Scott Carpenter pool sits next door and is perfect for those hot Front Range days. Kites flying high against the backdrop of the Flatirons, children playing on the Rocket Ship playground, and hard-bodies bathing in the Colorado sun are just a few of the sights you'll see when you spend the day at Scott Carpenter."
"Of all of the times we've been to Boulder, we didn't know this wonderful park existed until now.

Whether you want to visit the unique space-themed playground, swim in the pool, have a picnic, or visit the skate park, this park is sure to keep the whole family entertained all day."

Look around this bakery, and I guarantee you'll be there for a while trying to decide what to eat out of all of their pastries and desserts."
"Known to have one of the best Key Lime Pies on the market, Lucky’s Bakehouse and Creamery is a must-have in Boulder.

Lucky’s Market, created by two local chefs Trish and Bo Sharon in 2003, was started in hopes to bring Colorado a natural food store unlike any other."
"Frozen yogurt is the perfect dessert, because you have the option to choose from such a large variety of flavors and toppings to make your very own froyo dessert. Ripple has over 16 different flavors on tap every day that change according to the season. Ripple let's you pick your favorite toppings, whether that be chocolates, gummies, fruits, or different sauces that you can get wild with."

Their something-for-everyone mentality is apparent in their sugar-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free options as well. Ripple provides a lively and fun atmosphere with everyone filling their cups high with yogurt and piling on toppings."
