Walnut St, Crossroads

Walnut is a great street that cuts across Boulder east to west. The eastern most part begins back in an industrial, business center of east Boulder then Walnut cuts through the 29th Street Mall, it is the main cut through the center of the pedestrian outdoor shopping area known as the 29th street "mall". Then Walnut gets good and makes its way through the pretty Whittier neighborhood, this is the part of Walnut that would be great to live by. Then Walnut is a one-way just south and parallel to the Pearl Street pedestrian mall. Walnut then ends as it turns into another street just before it hits the mountains at the west side of town.

My first night out in Boulder, I was wandering around the Pearl Street Mall and came upon the Attic Bar and Bistro. My friends and I decided to go in and check it out, and we were very impressed with the atmosphere. The food is classic, American-style, just what we needed, and the drink prices were reasonable. Fun little place to end your day of sightseeing and tourism at the Mall.

Walnut street runs through a beautiful part of the Pearl Street Mall. It spans about ten blocks within the mall (9th through 18th street) and has great variety of shops and dinning spots, as well as a Ritz (if you are looking for a place to stay). My two favorite places to eat (over the course of the week I was there) on Walnut street were the Walnut Cafe and the Boulder Chophouse and Tavern. Both of these places had delicious food and relatively inexpensive prices. This a great part of the Pearl Street Mall that I recommend visiting if you are ever in Boulder.
