If you have lived in Boulder for more than a couple of summers, you already know the rhythm: Wednesday concerts on the bricks, a Saturday morning at the farmers market, a Chautauqua night somewhere in August. What is different this year is who is cooking dinner before all of it. A cluster of chefs with Frasca, Blackbelly, and Oak at Fourteenth pedigrees have opened or are about to open new rooms across town, and the calendar of free and low-cost outdoor events happens to be one of the fullest in recent memory. The practical result is that almost any weeknight in July and August, a resident can walk from a genuinely new dinner to a genuinely good show without moving the car.
This is a map of both.
