Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
On my return from Yellowstone National Park, I stopped in Boise for several days. It’s always great fun to return to familiar places and also to discover something new. The Green Belt and Rose Garden are favorites and I visited each every day.
My favorite restaurants include:
- The Cottonwood Grill (on the Boise Green Belt),
- Bonefish Grill (downtown, near hotels)
- The Yard House at the Village (located in the always interesting Meridian Mall, about a 15 minute drive from Boise)
- The Warehouse Food Hall, downtown Boise, is a neat new fun venue with vendors ranging from terrific coffee (Caffé D’Arte) to pizza (Anzalone Pizza) to Freshie’s Lobster Co to BBQ to poke and sushi burritos, etc. plus cocktails, wine and beer, I took the photos early in the day, when only the coffee shop was open, It is crowded lunchtime and onward.
A favorite bookstore:
Rediscovered Bookshop, located on popular 8th Street (restaurant row, closed to traffic) is a marvelous book store to visit. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. I always buy several books (decided many years ago to always buy at least one book in a bookstore when I visit ~ as I love to browse bookstores). It’s a small shop but definitely worth a visit.
Future blogs will have photos of the spectacular Boise Greenbelt and the beautiful Rose Garden.
