North Boulder “NoBo”

Once an industrial zone, NoBo is quickly becoming a new hangout for young families, artists and fledgling businesses from breweries to importers of artisan goods. There are plenty of good restaurants to choose from, including Bacco, Proto’s Pizza, Spruce Confections and La Choza, as well as a new library branch.
