Food scene

New Mexico's first foodhall! Located in an industrial-chic corner of Albuquerque, Sawmill Market is New Mexico’s first food hall, housing vegan ramen, low-alcohol cocktails, and flower arrangements under one roof. A second food hall (unrelated owners) is set to open two miles down.

Very cool restaurant that features salads. The first Vinaigrette opened in 2008, in a funky adobe house in downtown Santa Fe. Around the same time she was learning how to grow food in the high desert, with its scarce water and slim soils, owner/founder Erin Wade had the idea for a restaurant that served delicious and satisfying entrée salads—a place that made healthy eating joyful and easy. She began developing the menus and concept with the produce she was growing.

This funky little adobe place is a mom and pop shop that is a favorite local bakery. They're not just a bakery, though. They also serve delicious pizza and sandwiches!

Neighborhoods

Stroll the Plaza, dine at our many restaurants, visit our museums, take a guided tour or shop at over 150 stores and galleries for unique gifts from the Southwest and around the world. Quiet hidden patios, winding brick paths, gardens and balconies are waiting to be discovered! We love the ghost tour in particular ;)

This is a great place to find local restaurants and merchants. This area will have shop and strolls where Central Avenue is blocked off for pedestrian use only. They also have multiple parades throughout the year! A very fun place :)

City/town information

Santa Fe, New Mexico’s capital, sits in the Sangre de Cristo foothills. It’s renowned for its Pueblo-style architecture and as a creative arts hotbed. Founded as a Spanish colony in 1610, it has at its heart the traditional Plaza. The surrounding historic district’s crooked streets wind past adobe landmarks including the Palace of the Governors, now home to the New Mexico History Museum.

The children's museum!! It is phenomenal, has play structures, and life-size Lincoln Logs that you can build your own cabin with! There is a beautiful quiet corner for kids who might become easily overwhelmed. They also have adult night for those adults that want to know how wine is fermented!!

This dino museum isn't just full of dusty bones - you walk through time and tour the insides of volcanoes and caves. It's very interactive and has a Dynatheatre. Check out the geode display and the Hall of Stars.

This is a HUGE place, with its own working farm. It is mostly all outdoors, but still great at any time of year. Check out the Bugarium while you're there!

This is home to so many species of water creatures; my favorites are the turtles and otters. They have huge sharks and sea turtles. You can also visit the lower level that has models of ships.

This zoo is HUGE! I admire it because many of the animals that they take in are rescues and need help. There is a cute zoo train that takes you for a tour inside, BUT there is also a larger train that takes you along the Rio Grande River to the Aquarium and Botanic Gardens! If you plan to tour all 3 places, be sure to plan for at least 5 hours. All of BioParks are rather large.

Awesome park with a nice soccer field and children's play structures. It has a circular paved path for walking, skating, or riding! This is my dog's favorite place to sniff and my kids' favorite place to ride their bikes.

Frases úteis

Red or green?

When you visit restaurants, the waiter may ask, "red or green?" They are asking if you would like red or green chile piled gloriously on top your order. If you're in the know, you might answer "Christmas", which is red and green chile together!!
