Food scene

Located in the Hyde Park neighborhood (just a short stroll from where you’ll be staying). Great grab and go breakfast Sammie’s or burritos. They also offer sandwiches and pre-made frozen heat and serve entrees. Best Pot Pie in town, hands down!

Another James Beard finalist, Chef John Cuevas, has made Boise his home and is sharing his unique, upscale take on Mexican style cuisine. Chips are homemade and hot and fresh. Guacamole is luscious and balanced. My favorites are the Mushroom taco and the ‘only on Wednesday’, OG Crispy. (Can you say Double Decker taco on steroids?) Don’t walk- run. (Pro tip- ask for extra crema and hot sauce. 😉)

Looking for great, affordable pizza delivery? Try Americana. Our favorite is Pepperoni, Sausage and Red onion. We really enjoy the sesame seed crust. The Cesar Salad is generous and tasty. Ask for an extra lemon and spritz it on your pizza. You’ll never have pizza without it. Trust us!

Recreating

Just blocks away from where you’ll be staying. This is the Gem of the NorthEnd neighborhood. It draws locals from all over the valley to recreate. It also serves as a trail-head to a network of trails leading into the Boise Foothills. Don’t worry! You can’t get lost…..All downhill trails lead back to this area.

Bogus Basin has become a year-round recreation gem in the greater Boise area. Summer time boasts great hiking trails, a mountain coaster, biking trails and a magnificent view of the valley below. In the winter months, it offers a tubing hill, Nordic trails and acres of downhill skiing that can’t be beat. It’s a classic ‘local hill’, and operates as a non-profit, making season and day passes affordable. If its a ‘Grey day’ in Boise, just head up to Bogus, you’ll rise above the clouds and find blue skies and sun!

Outdoor Markets

Boise has multiple open air markets that offer up a variety of goods. They are seasonal so, sorry, winter travelers, you’ll have to find your ‘local’ veggies at the Boise co-op.
The Boise Farmers Market offers up goods from local grower/producer/artisans of a variety of foods. Current locale is the corner of Shoreline and Americana. Here you will find a wonderful selection of produce, wines, cheeses, breads, pastas, meats, eggs, etc. Plan to arrive close to opening bell (9am) to get the most selection as some vendors sell out early. The BFM is open from early April through late October and sometimes moves indoors through the Holiday season. (location varies by year)
