Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Black Hawk Area

"1615 Pearl St(303) 544-5803http://www.artandsoulboulder.com/. Art + Soul offers a unique and sophisticated variety of fine art and jewelry presented in an atmosphere that is colorful and welcoming. The gallery occupies 3000sq ft on the East End of Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall."

"A few highlights: Art + Soul Gallery, Cedar and Hyde, Chelsea, Nod and Rose, Two Sole Sisters and John Atencio jewelry. Most shops in downtown are locally owned, making this a one-of-a-kind shopping experience."

"This “incredible” spot provides licensed artwork from Disney, LucasFilms, Marvel and DC Comics and is a one-stop-shop for fans of movies and comic books."

"Known as the "less local" more mainstream mall of Boulder, the 29th Street Mall boasts big names such as Nordstrom Rack, Macy's, and Victoria's Secret. Dining can be found just around the corner at Colorado Pizza Kitchen, Noodles & Company, and Mad Greens. Catch a movie at Boulder Century Theater and then grab dessert at one of Boulder's best frozen yogurt spots, Spooners, where you're charged by the ounce and toppings abound."

"The Twenty Ninth Street Mall in central Boulder features more chains and big names than anywhere else in town. Here, you’ll find Victoria’s Secret, Nordstrom Rack, Lululemon, Macy’s, Anthropologie, Apple, Sephora, H&M and more. The mall actually has several different sections separated by roads, so make sure you visit them all."

"Crossroads Commons, 2905 Pearl St., is a busy shopping area at the end of Pearl Street. The heart here is the ever-packed Whole Foods, but the Barnes & Noble and Bicycle Village are also big draws. Crossroads Commons is also a great place to get a massage, mani/pedi, haircut, fake tan, tooth cleaning and bikini wax — maybe not all in one sitting, although you could do them all without having to get in the car."

"Alcove on Arapahoe (also known as Arapahoe Village), 2798 Arapahoe Ave., is a smaller shopping center in central Boulder. The anchor here is Safeway, but shoppers also love to get home goods at Homegoods, Pier 1 Imports and JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts. This is also where to find a Petco in Boulder."

"The Village is a collection of more than 40 locally owned shops centrally located between Arapahoe and Canyon and 28th and Folsom streets. This is an outdoor strip mall, but it’s nicely appointed and home to some of Boulder’s most beloved staples, such as McGuckins Hardware (seriously, it has everything), Grandrabbits Toy Shoppe, Colorado Multisport and Pedestrian Shops (which also has a Pearl Street presence). Also make sure you visit women’s clothng store JJ Wells and Epic Mountain Gear, to name a few of the highlights here."

"Insomnia is open from 9 to 3 am, which means that you can get a cookie at every waking moment of your day. They make nine traditional flavors like chocolate chunk, peanut butter chip, or double chocolate mint, and they also have their deluxe flavors like TRIPLE chocolate chunk or S'mores. If you want an even more epic dessert, you can also get a cookie or brownie a la mode."

"Soccer, cross country skiing, baseball, and picnicking are just a few of the activities that North Boulder Park has to offer. Children can play on the state-of-the-art playground equipment set to the backdrop of the jutting Flatirons. Picnicking here offers great views and you're just within a few minutes walk of Pearl Street and all of its delights."

"Asher Brewery is not only Boulder’s first all-organic brewery, it’s still the only one!. And its use of only the best and healthiest ingredients shows: the Ginger Bomb seasonal brew has actual organic ginger root ground up and in the mix. Hops, barley, any other flavors?"
