For breakfast, try the Pantry (1820 Cerrillos), or if you’re downtown Pasqual’s(121 Don Gaspar, though the wait at weekends can be shocking). Grab that burrito from any number of places on Cerrillos Road. Other great lunch eateries are The Shed (113 Palace Avenue), the Santa Fe Baking Company (504 W. Cordova), and the Guadalupe Cafe, on the Santa Fe Trail next to the Roundhouse. Tinys, 1015 Pen Road just off Paseo de Peralta at St. Francis, has been there since 1950-something, and is THE place local politicos go for unpretentious Northern New Mexico food. Dinner? Back to The Shed, or for a most romantic, most elegant dinner, it’s the Casa Sena, in the shadow of the Cathedral on East Palace Avenue. For one of those “where the locals go” dinners, get to Harrys Roadhouse, on the Old Las Vegas Highway. For those burgers, the world’s finest are only to be enjoyed at the Bobcat Bite on the Old Las Vegas Highway. Their opening times are eclectic, so check first at www.bobcatbite.com, 505.983.5319 So here’s the raw list of best places to eat (according to me!) in Santa Fe:
SightseeingTucked away on a hilltop just a few miles from town are four of the most intriguing museums you’ll ever see (and a great restaurant, too). Now branded “Museum Hill” these museums will entrance you for hours. By the way, you can get the bus right to Museum Hill from the Plaza. Anyway here are the museums: Museum of Spanish Colonial ArtThe Museum of Spanish Colonial Art is the newest museum on the Santa Fe scene and features objects from throughout the Spanish Colonial world, housed in a historical building designed by John Gaw Meem.
Museum of Indian Arts & CultureAt the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, encounter Native cultures and artifacts of the Southwest from ancestral to contemporary, in exhibits drawing from more than 70,000 works of art and material culture.
Museum of International Folk ArtTo experience the color and excitement of the world’s cultures, go to the Museum of International Folk Art and see an unparalleled collection that includes toys, textiles, household goods and religious art.
Wheelwright Museum of the American IndianNew Mexico’s oldest private non-profit museum, the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian, emphasizes important Native American art in an eight-sided building inspired by a traditional Navajo hooghan.
Staying
Inn of the Anasazi - elegant, great bar, excellent wine list. Located just off the Plaza St. Francis - “European-style” (ie small) rooms, but very elegant, well located, and an excellent bar frequented by locals as well as tourists. Inn of the Governors - a real “find” - downtown, cosy and reasonably priced. Courtyard by Marriott - More typical hotel with decent pricing, good sized rooms and an indoor swimming pool Outside the city
TaosAbout three hours drive, through your choice of countryside: the main road, once it passes through Española, tracks the beautiful Rio Grande most of the way. This river begs you to stop, enjoy its vitality and fish or wade in it. The other route is through dramatic Northern New Mexican ruggedness - the legendary High Road to Taos: it takes a little longer, but you’ll never forget it. Turquoise TrailYou probably arrived in New Mexico via Albuquerque Airport, and rushed up I-25 to get here. That’s good, but there’s another way to do that, via the Turquoise Trail, a designated scenic byway that takes you through the old mining towns of Golden and Madrid. Madrid bustles now, with artistic endeavor, but still has some of the raw edges of a mining town. Los Alamos, Valle Caldera, TsankaweTalk about contrast! Los Alamos, home of The Big One, is a boring all-American town in the middle of a scenic wonderland. En route to Los Alamos, stop for a one/two hour hike at the ruins of Tsankawe. Past Los Alamos is the recently purchased pristine Valle Caldera, the hollowed out center of an ancient volcano. A ranch for many years, it is now accessible with strict limits. |

 evolve is... the most Web 2.0'd, socially networked, less-is-more, Twit-savvy, caffeinated, chocaholic, efficient real estate firm on my street. I love to introduce Santa Fe to new people, helping them with mover discounts, identifying the right neighborhood for them, and plugging them into everything that's going on here.
