Food and Fun Facts …
This city is rapidly becoming a “foodie” city – with a growing and diverse population, the culinary culture is expanding here! Food truck parks are also very popular, and a new “food hall” called The Warehouse offers an outstanding variety of food and drink. A few other restaurants and coffee shops for you to put on your “must” list:
- Bittercreek Alehouse – a local brew pub with focus on sustainability and local sourcing
- Juniper – higher-end restaurant with a delectable menu
- Fork – holding true to a “loyal to local” pledge – the chopped salad is dreamy!
- The Lively – unique menu for “ordinary” foods!
- Flying M Coffeehouse – simply stated, it is THE BEST coffee ever …
- Push and Pour – another great coffeehouse with beans from around the globe
- Tarbush Kitchen – Mediterranean done right!
Just a couple of fun facts for you – to think about while you pack those moving boxes:
- This city is home to the first-ever drive-in theater (opened in the 1940’s), and it is still operating today!
- This city is home to the world’s only “floating” greenbelt, the Boise River Greenbelt.
- This city is home to the largest Basque community in the United States – immigrating to Boise from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s bringing a culture and heritage still ongoing and celebrated.
