A 'Zero Carbon Footprint' Dinner at the St. Julien Hotel

Where: 900 Walnut St. [map], Boulder, CO, United States, 80302

Green hotels? We've got you covered. Hotel restaurants? We like those, too. But now we can put both together, thanks to the Zero Carbon Footprint dinner coming up Jill's Restaurant at the St. Julien Hotel & Spa.

The swanky Boulder hotel (known for its pricey drinks) has put together a five-course tasting menu featuring ingredients drawn from within 100 miles of the hotel. (Promotions like this are the reason "locavore" is the word of the year.) The special dinner will be served on March 20, which is International Earth Day.

On the menu are Hoppin' John with local mushrooms, flatiron steaks and a brulee banana split. Benziger wines, matched to each course, are from California, but are made without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. If you need to sleep off this Earth-friendly meal, the hotel has a package for two, including dinner, going for $325.
