No Downtown Boulder experience would be complete without stepping off the bricks at 15th Street and heading east.

The East End district is for creative-spirits, foodies, adventure seekers & trend-setters. Located just steps off of the Pearl Street Mall, the East End encompass seven blocks (from 15th to 21st streets) filled with delectable dining options and locally-owned shops filled with apparel, accessories and more. Check out just a sampling of all the East End has to offer below. (Interested in history? Download a Daily Camera piece titled, 'In Retrospect: East Pearl Street businesses changed with the times'.)
