Boulder is a foodie town.  There are a number of good restaurants and fast-casual spots within 1500 feet (~450 m) of  the conference hotel.  Much of the best food is downtown (15-25 minute walk). We recommend staying close to the hotel for lunch and going downtown for dinner (walk or Uber/Lyft etc.).  The map shows recommended restaurants, bars, and cafes.  Many local restaurants accept reservations through Open Table
