点评:We recently dropped by the shopping district on historic Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado. Visitors can stroll along a brick-paved section of Pearl Street (stretch of street is closed to car traffic). Parking (pay fee on parking app) is available at cross streets and public garages.
The outdoor pedestrian mall on Pearl Street is lined with stores and restaurants, some of which are housed in historic brick buildings. Along the walk are play areas for children and benches for people watching. Locally owned businesses include Two Hands Paperie, a very nice art supply and stationery store and independent bookstores.
We were surprised to see many international luxury outerwear stores such as Norrona (Norway), Himali (Nepal), Montbell (Japan), Fjallraven (Sweden), Arc-teryx (Canada) and Hestra Concept Store (Sweden).
Lots of locally owned eateries (the only chain we noticed was Ben & Jerry) and restaurants line Pearl Street - ranging from ice cream parlors, gastropubs and delis to fine dining. We had lunch with friends at Zoe Ma Ma, a Michelin-recommended casual Asian restaurant.
Hopefully, the local charm of Pearl Street is not lost with the invasion of so many luxury retailers - we noticed at least three small shops (selling souvenirs and textile and other hand made crafts) were having going-out-of-business sales after the holidays.
翻译:我们最近顺道去了科罗拉多州博尔德市历史悠久的珍珠街购物区。游客可以沿着珍珠街一段铺着砖石的街道漫步(该路段禁止车辆通行)。十字路口和公共停车场均设有停车位(可通过停车应用程序付费)。
珍珠街的露天步行街两旁林立着商店和餐厅,其中一些就位于历史悠久的砖砌建筑内。步行街沿途设有儿童游乐区和供人休憩观赏的长椅。当地特色商户包括Two Hands Paperie,一家非常不错的文具和美术用品店,以及一些独立书店。
我们惊喜地发现这里有很多国际知名的奢侈户外服装品牌,例如Norrona(挪威)、Himali(尼泊尔)、Montbell(日本)、Fjallraven(瑞典)、Arc'teryx(加拿大)和Hestra Concept Store(瑞典)。
珍珠街上遍布着许多当地特色小吃店(我们只注意到一家连锁店是Ben & Jerry's),从冰淇淋店、美食酒吧和熟食店到高级餐厅,应有尽有。我们和朋友在Zoe Ma Ma餐厅吃了午餐,这家餐厅是米其林推荐的休闲亚洲餐厅。
希望珍珠街的本地特色不会因为众多奢侈品零售商的涌入而消失——我们注意到至少有三家小店(出售纪念品、纺织品和其他手工制品)在节后进行了清仓甩卖。
