No place better to be on a Saturday morning than the Capital City Public Market. Currently, as of…read morethe Summer of 2022, the Capital Saturday market is located at the Grove Plaza. The market runs from April-December every Saturday 9:30 am- 1:30 pm. The Grove Plaza is neighbored by the Boise Centre, ICCU Arena, and the BSU downtown campus. I live nearby, so I usually walk but there is both street parking and public garage parking nearby. Here you can find local produce (although, limited if you come later in the day), locally raised meats and fish, ceramics and other handmade products, and ready-made foods. I usually grab a mixed greens salad for $5, which lasts me the whole week. Something about these greens, they do last forever! I had a friend pick me up a bag while I was out of town (yes, I'm that addicted to this salad mix) and he actually bought twice as much as I usually do and they were still nice a crisp 1-2 weeks later! The microgreens here are great, and I love that you can get a mix of different microgreens in one container. There are also a few vendors that sell foods to snack on while you're shopping. My go-to is to grab a cup of coffee that's locally roasted, there's a spot that does have dairy alternatives along with flavored syrups that I love. The dumplings with the spicy momo sauce are the highlight of my Saturdays whenever I come here. If you're in Boise on a Saturday in April-Dec the Capital City Market is the spot to be. Highly recommend it, it's a Boise gem! Never too crowded but still a great spot to people and dog watch (Yes, dogs are allowed at this market)!!

The seating area inside is really cute and inviting, making it a great place to sit, relax, and enjoy your treat.

The story goes John Muir, a known philanthropist, author, and lover of nature in California, sent 4 seedlings to a friend in Boise, ID in 1912. This sequoia is the last of the four seedlings to survive. It grew to over 110 ft high. Unfortunately St. Luke's hospital needed to expand where the tree was. So the plan was to move the tree not destroy it, thank goodness. On 2017 among lots of fanfare it moved to its current spot where it has thrived. It had another brush with death when it got overused and overwhelmed being the Christmas Tree lit for years. That was abandoned when the tree didn't flourish due to the event. It now is happily anonymous except for those who visit and photograph it. This iconic tree is beautiful and it's history reminds you that conserving nature is important and doing so in this case will give future generations the tree to enjoy

BY 1880, he was the wealthiest man in the Pacific Northwest. The marker reads, "Ezra Meeker was largely responsible for locating and preserving the Old Oregon Trail.

A fancy restaurant located inside of a hotel that offered a very intimate setting. We parked in a pay-to-park lot by Jackson's because we were unsure of the parking at Richard's. When we arrived we noticed there is parking for specifically for Richard's and valet. We made a reservation through Open Table and were seated immediately upon arrival. This was my first Mother's Day, so we did have my two month old daughter with us. Since we had her with us, I had to leave the restaurant a few times to calm fussiness and feed her. The staff was very accommodating to this and there were several comfortable spaces to take her out of the restaurant quickly. My husband and I both ordered a glass of wine, the best one being Salcheto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2019. Some of the best wine I've had in a while. As for food we ordered the Thomas Cattle Co. Ribeye and Wagyu Flatiron. Both were delicious, but the Wagyu Flatiron blew our socks off. I have been to several high price steakhouses in Vegas and this was easily the best steak I've ever had. Highly recommended this place to anyone looking for a very tasty dinner with an intimate setting. I am counting down the days to when I can go back.

My hubs had a delicious roasted Quail with insanely tasty potatoes with a glorious gravy sauce. We went back 2 days later for brunch, which is also amazing, but if you order the buttermilk pancakes, you better have someone to share them with! Service was superb. We were never left wanting or wondering where someone was. Our server was very attentive, and made sure everything was perfect! I can't imagine ever getting a dissatisfying meal here.
