The Hill and Boba Tea!

Hello again! Yesterday I decided I should figure out some of the cool stuff available to do on the Hill- we all know it's THE place to hit up for good food, shows, and just walking around if you're ever bored and on campus, but what precisely to eat or drink? Heading out with two of my buddies, we were specifically searching for Boba tea- the coffee-esque drink with "pearls" of tapioca at the bottom. Needless to say, Boulder is a great place for finding strange food and Boba tea definitely falls in that catagory!
According to my Boba experts, Jessica and Susanna, the best place in Boulder to get authentic Boba tea is Tra-ling's Oriental Cafe, directly on the intersection of Pleasant Street and Broadway. For $3 bucks you can get a large Boba tea sealed in a cool cup, like so:
Not to mention the straws that come with the tea are huge so that the tapioca can zoom up and totally shock you the first time you try it! Here is me enjoying my first ever Boulder Boba tea:

Boba tea searching tends to bring out quite the hunger in people, so it was brought to my attention that salad would be an awesome addition to our Boba. My friend Bree is vegetarian, and being a leaf eater she suggested that we go to Boulder Greens, a sick create your own salad restaurant with just about everything you could possibly think of to put on a salad. Tasty and filling (the salads are really big), it's a nice alternative to usually fried/over-cooked dining hall food.

Generally speaking, most of the food on the Hill is pretty excellent- my personal favorites are Cheba Hut and Jimmy John's. I'd love comments on other places I should hit up- let me know what's better! :) That's all for today, have an awesome week everyone!
