• ​Wepa!, a new Puerto Rican restaurant has finally opened in Garden City. BoiseDev has that story for you.
• And a lil note from Nathan about Delucas: Last night my wife and I went to Deluca’s for the first time. They’ve been open since December, but I hadn’t been in yet since they took over the space from Ha’penny. Actually, the last time I was there was during a Boise State game and there was a big bar fight. Now the vibe is entirely different. The rowdy Irish bar has been replaced with a classy Italian restaurant. We went all in on apps, particularly loved the mushroom toast, burrata and grilled peaches & the clams. Our server, Matthew, was really fun. If you haven't yet - check it out! PS - they have live music several times a week.
