First time in NM .. places to go?

First time in Santa Fe and Albuquerque ... sights to see? Great local places to eat?

Santa Fe
Oct 17th - 18th
Albuquerque
Oct 19th - 20th

If you like Tapas, The Cellar on Lomas and 11th is pretty great.

Hi Shelby
Santa FE - Jambo Cafe & cowgirl Hall of Fame
Albuquerque - Trombino's especially if you enjoy martinis, their martini selection is awesome!
I live in Albuquerque and if you haven't had Bob's Burgers you should have it!
Enjoy your stay

And you just missed Balloon Fiesta! Tram is always nice, but better with a companion. CB

Pueblo Cultural Center in ABQ

Acoma, Natural Arcg, lava beds (all about an hour west if you have a car)

Restaurants: El Bruno, M'Tucci's, and Pars are all nice

Jave you evwr been to the Caverns in Carlsbad?

I know it may be a little out of the way....But have you been to the Caverns in Carlsbad?

The Shed on Palace Avenue near the plaza. New Mexico cuisine.

Geronimo on Canyon Road. Expensive, but worth it.

Rancho de Chimayo, in Chimayo. 35 minute scenic drive north of Santa Fe. IMO, the best Northern New Mexico cuisine available.

A wide variety of museums near the plaza and more out on Museum Hill.

Beautiful overlooks near the top of Hyde Park Road near the ski basin.

I second jambo cafe! I eat there every time I go to sf

There is a Jambo in Albuquerque now as well.

I apologize I never did see that post and and as yet I have not been to Carlsbad

However I would like to point out the Juniper Steakhouse inside of Santa Ana Casino is probably the old Summit place that you could eat as far as food quality is concerned their staff was very very good but I want to talk about the food let's talk about the food oh my God I would have paid double triple even they definitely have some of the best chefs around and good food quality so if you ever get the opportunity let me know what you think. Also there's the rooftop Lounge on top of the hotel parq Central very nice place to go for drinks and appetizers very good food and awesome views
