The Social Life – Ep1 – Pittsburgh – Host Ali Nejad takes a selfie while enjoying an art installation at The Mattress Factory.
“The Social Life” a new travel and food series on HLN, will focus on Boulder on March 17. (The photo’s from the series’ first episode, in Pittsburgh.) The hook is the use of social media to find local curiosities, obscure favorites and insider advice on each location.
“The Social Life” is hosted by Ali Nejad, self-described travel junkie and foodie (and host of The Daily Share on HLN).
In Boulder, Ali checks out “the funky street performer scene,” a Tajikistani tea ceremony at Dushanbe Tea House, bouldering, organic lunch at Zeal, bon bons at Piece Love and Chocolate. He strikes a balance between outdoorsy hiking and exploring The Farm, a legal marijuana dispensary, where he expresses innocence and learns all about the legalities, strains and more. “Walk me through it,” he asks the budtender.
“It is a brave new world out here in Boulder!” He gives the 300 days of sunshine per year an endorsement.
Interestingly, when he asks the twitterverse to recommend the coolest place in Boulder, the result is perhaps unexpected: NCAR. He gets an educational tour of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
