Hi, we are Frankli

Frankli started as a running list of Boise recommendations sent to friends. It got long enough that a website made more sense than another text thread.

Why this exists

Boise grows fast, and most of what gets written about it is aimed at visitors. Locals need something different: what opened last month, which patio has shade at 6pm, where to take out-of-town family, and what is happening this weekend that is actually worth the parking.

So we keep showing up in the same places, eating the same meals twice, and writing it down. If a recommendation is here, someone went.

How we pick things

  • We go in person before we recommend it
  • We say what a place is good for, not just that it is good
  • We skip the hype cycle and revisit favorites
  • Sponsored content is labeled clearly, every time

This is placeholder space for your bio. Add how long you have lived in Boise, what you did before this, your neighborhood, and the one recommendation you give every single person who asks.

Say hello

Got a tip, a new opening, or an event we missed? That is the best kind of email to get.
