Find a New Favorite Place to Eat

With more time spent inside, you might be a little tired of cooking at home. Fortunately, winter is the perfect opportunity to expand your tastes and explore new places to eat in Meridian. With the population of the area exploding in recent years, new residents are bringing their favorite tastes and flavors along, meaning that there has never been a better time to try something new like sushi, Basque food, or even pizza in a cone. Whatever you choose, keep your tummy warm and full this winter.  

Go to a Game

While football season is drawing to a close, the sports fun doesn’t have to end with the BSU football team’s season. The Treasure Valley boasts other professional and college teams that are just kicking off their season as the temperatures start to dip. Most notably, you’ll find that the Idaho Steel heads hockey team offers a fun night out at the Century Link Arena and the Boise State men’s and women’s basketball teams take over the Taco Bell Arena for some high-flying college basketball.  

Sip a Warm Drink

The Treasure Valley is home to a wide variety of local coffee and tea shops to explore and try. From downtown Boise destinations to cafés tucked away in Meridian and Eagle, if you’re ready for a break from the chilly winter air, pop into one of these shops for a warm coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Also, when visiting your favorite place for a happy hour in Meridian, try something different and look for their hot drink offerings like the Hot Toddy or Irish coffee to warm up and unwind.  

Learn the Art of Glass Blowing

If you’re really tired of the cold weather, standing next to the roaring flames of a glass furnace is sure to warm you up no matter how cold it is outside. Boise Art Glass is located in Boise’s iconic Bogie’s Building downtown where artists create one-of-a-kind glass pieces by hand. They offer tours and workshops where you can learn about the art of glass production and can even sign up to try your hand at it.

Even if you’re not afraid of cold weather and spend most of the winter outside on the ski slopes, we all need a break from the cold every once in a while. Try any one (or all) of these during the winter in the Treasure Valley to stay warm this season.

One of the best things about Idaho, particularly the Treasure Valley, is how many surprises it still holds, even for longtime residents. A great example is the quality, variety, innovation, and most importantly, deliciousness of the cuisine supported by the Gem State. Part of our state’s reason for culinary excellence is likely a result of its diverse history of incomers. Idaho and, again, the Treasure Valley specifically, has hosted large populations of Chinese, Basque, Irish, and Hispanic immigrants (among a number of others). That rich cultural, social, and historical legacy is no doubt responsible for our modern-day community being so receptive to both excellent food and culinary inventiveness. The Treasure Valley is now home to a thriving fusion movement and some of the most exciting examples of it are Asian fusion restaurants. It’s why the prospect of looking for the best sushi Meridian Idaho offers is now not only reasonable but will also yield some incredi
