Need a brunch spot, plans for date night or something to do with friends? I’ve pulled my Boise and Treasure Valley guides together so you can find a plan without opening a dozen tabs. There’s plenty to explore beyond downtown, too, with guides covering Meridian, Eagle, Garden City and the surrounding area. Pick what you’re in the mood for below, then head to the full guide for the places and practical details. Save this page for the next time someone asks, “What should we do?”
Where to eat and drink
Start with brunch spots around Boise, or find a table on an outdoor patio. For drinks, browse speakeasies and hidden bars, local breweries and Treasure Valley wineries.
Make plans for a night out
Get a team together for trivia nights, check out open mic nights or browse my date night ideas when you want to switch up your usual plans.
Explore, shop and get outside
Browse the photo links below for local boutiques, farmers markets, golf courses and places to stay. Planning a day out of town? The hot springs guide and ski resort guide are useful places to start. Check each business’s current hours or event calendar before heading out.
