Moving to Boise - What do I need to know?
All good points. We researched lots of other neighborhoods, and have some good friends on the Bench, even spent some time in Meridian getting the feel for it, but we ultimately like the feel of the North End much more. If we were buying to invest, the Bench or Meridian would be high on the list.
Needing a garage and a yard for the dog, it really kept us out of downtown. We looked at the NE side of town by the Penitentiary/BSU and in a little pocket between State and Main around 23rd, but never found anything we liked in our price range. We even looked in Collister, but waking around there at night got my Spidey Sense tingling so we passed.
There are tons of good options for everyone depending on what you’re looking for, but the North End vibe is what we liked pretty much right away.
Coming from Portland we are used to the hipster/poseur vibe and mostly just ignore it at this point

Also the famous Potato Drop to ring in the new year. Who needs times square?

A friend of ours was able to beat charges for a pound of MDMA in ID because the cops pulled so many sheisty, back-woods maneuvers. I know more than one person who has had charges dropped due to illegal police activity on the drive from Idaho Falls to West Yellowstone.

Where in the Collister area were you? I live close to Cynthia Mann Elementary and feel perfectly comfortable walking around that neighborhood even at midnight. Granted, yes, on the other side of Pierce Park Lane there are some seeding looking homes, but nothing that doesn't exist in any subdivision neighborhood. As a matter of fact there are some pretty nice homes in the Castle Hills sub for sale.

There’s a place called Idaho Mountain Touring in 13th and Main. Haven’t been in yet but they seem to fit what you’re looking for.

You're going to hve to dig for your info around SW Idaho. this is partially because of the small population, partially because most outdoor pursuits in this neck of the woods involve going wherever the hell you want and making it happen. There's a whole shit-ton of mountains just north of town, and they pretty much extend all the way to Canada. Go make your own adventure.
For local touring, you can start easily enough and find info online for Mores Creek Summit (the skiing is mostly on adjacent Pilot Peak) and More's Mountain (two different places, and you must head in two different directions to get to each).
The folks at Idaho Mt. Touring will sell you gear, not sure how knowledgeable they really are on local touring info. THey're great on local biking options, both road and MTB. Some of the guys at Eco Lounge in the N. End might also be helpful, not sure, but the shop (fi it still exists) always had a BC kind of vibe."Judge me by the enemies I have made." -FDR

Go talk to Gabe at the Boise State Bicycle Learning Center. Avid ski tourer and bike nut. I got to know him at Crystal Mtn WA when he was on Pro Patrol. Great dude.

Any suggestion for a short term place to live (6-8 weeks) in or around Boise if I end up interning there next Fall? No plans for long term, very happy on the other side of the state.

Anyone have a room for rent with a 3month lease starting Mid-February?
I have a 3 month internship with the possibility of continued employment (I can show proof of employment), and am looking for a private room with cool roommates.
24 Male, I keep it chill (no weeds or alcohol benders), know how to be a clean roommate, and Iove being outside (super excited to explore Mores Summit Creek and Banner Summit zones)
My internship is in downtown, so preference for a place in NE Boise, but I'm flexible.
10'x10' room would be ideal.
I'll be in Boise starting the 12th and could meet any day in the evenings to meet and greet.
Please shoot me a PM if you or a buddy has a room to rent.

I couldn't find a better Boise thread to bump so here we are. I'll be in town Friday through Sunday for my daughter's climbing competition and need some recommendations. We'll be staying at the Home2 Suites downtown. Good, close, coffee shops/breakfast places, lunch and dinner? I don't drink so we can skip breweries. Thanks.

Easy walk to Yoi Tomo Sushi and Grill. Ping conundrum for the brewery recs.

Lots of options for food and coffee on 8th St. right there. I haven't been in a couple of years, so I'm not sure what has survived the pandemic.
Close to you Slow by Slow coffee is pretty good. Bardennay is good for dinner as well. It's a Basque place. Alavita for fancy-ish Italian.
Funky Taco is good for lunch or a light dinner. Even if you don't drink, there's a 10 Barrel and Bittercreek Alehouse that have good food.

Hit up Bar Gernika on the Basque Block for lamb croquettes sandwich, Barriga‘s on Chinden for Mexican food. Big City coffee on Grove St for coffee. Be sure to check out the Boise Gear Collective on Capital.
