That delicious smell you can taste wafting through the air is coming from the many food trucks near our apartment in Boulder that are busy cooking up some of the finest sandwiches, pizzas and BBQ in the state. So, grab your keys, pull out your GPS, and make your way towards them because you’re definitely going to want to sample what they’re cooking up.

Now, the city doesn’t allow the trucks to park in the city, that’s why the Food Truck Parties meet over at Gunbarrel Commons Park…which is in the county. There, the Comida truck cooks up the tacos and burritos; the Crock Spot simmers old school soups and stews and the Heirloom Truck serves up some of the freshest cheese, tempura and vegetables in the entire area.

And, every once in a while, the Top of the Hill Grill fires up their pit and chars up some of the most delicious baby back ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket this state has seen since Daddy Bruce shut down.

Do you have a favorite food truck that you track through the area? Be sure to get on Facebook and share your favorites with the other Habitat residents who might want to discover what you already know.

Hanuman FestivalThere are many reasons that you should be incorporating yoga into your exercise regimen at our apartments in Boulder. It keeps you limber, it keeps you healthy, and it’s a great way to meet new and interesting people who share your same interests.

This summer, the Hanuman Festival will be taking place from June 13 to June 16, 2013. This festival of yoga, music, and enlightenment is one of the best yoga festivals in Boulder during the summer, and you definitely don’t want to miss out on the fun.

This event brings together some of the best yogis and experts in the country, including Richard Freeman and Rod Stryker, and it allows everyone from beginners to experts to learn everything they can about the benefits of yoga. Whether you need help with technique or integrating yoga into your exercise routine, this is the event for you.

In between yoga classes, you can take a break with tea, gluten-free foods, and other healthy eats from local restaurants and explore the Vendor Village for organic products, massages, and information from local studios. It all takes place less than 20 minutes from The Habitat Apartments.

  1. The West End 3K will take place on June 5, 2013 at 6:00 pm. Runners will gather at 11th and Pearl Street and run around downtown before crossing the finish line right where they started. Afterward, you can take advantage of the awesome shopping, dining, and festivities that will fill the air.
  2. The Boulder Stroke & Stride will be a swim and run contest that will take place on multiple Thursdays this summer. Each race starts at 6:00 pm, and competitors will meet at the Boulder Reservoir where they’ll don their shorts and give it a go.
