United States / New Mexico 

Farm-to-table cuisine offering upscale, Southern-inspired dishes as well as an amazing bourbon collection (75 bourbons and whiskeys) which are a nice break from tequila.

Excellent Spanish Tapas in Santa Fe. It is not large so reservations are suggested.

With a menu filled with locally sourced products, Sazon serves up high-end Mexican cuisine, all served with a medley of moles. Enjoy a flight of agave while you’re at it.

This restaurant is the star of the Santa Fe fine dining scene. It’s also probably the prettiest restaurant in Santa Fe with open fireplaces and a beautiful bar.

In Albuquerque’s crowded craft beer scene, Marble is a standout. The beers are interesting and tasty, and they’re served up at reasonable prices in a neat downtown brewpub. The staff is friendly, and they also offer house-brewed ciders and hard seltzers.

A tapas restaurant and bar featuring live music and flamenco since 1835 with a great rooftop bar.

This is an amazing place. For 1000 years people have been living in the large multi story adobe building that is a UNESCO world heritage site. Be sure and take a tour (every 20 minutes starting at 9am). Be aware that while the Pueblo is open daily it does close for various tribal activities – check the website. The tour only takes about 30 minutes but we highly recommend a visit here.

Georgia O’Keefe was from New York but fell in love with New Mexico and did most of her painting here. This is the best museum of her work anywhere – right off the main plaza and a must see in Santa Fe.

People have been living in the canyon at Bandolier for 11,000 years and this National Monument is an amazing place full of cliff dwellings set in a spectacular canyon. From Mid May to October you will access the canyon by frequent and convenient shuttle bus (other times you’re with your car). Be sure and take […]

New Mexico has a long and interesting history – from Native Americans living here for thousands of years to the Spanish Colonial era to the early US frontier to building the first atomic bomb – and this museum does a good job of explaining it all. Well worthwhile.

This is a cute little church in Santa Fe that is famous for its staircase. That’s right – the spiral staircase has quite a story behind it.

This is the worlds largest collection of folk art and a fascinating place to visit. Its main gallery has objects from over 100 countries and includes dolls, masks, toys, garments, paintings. Per the museum, there is no one definition of folk art, and so it hosts quite the collection of items. If you’re visiting in July don’t miss the International Folk Art Market.

This place is awfully hard to describe. In gist, it’s an immersive and interactive museum based in fantasy. You’ll be immersed in art installations, videos, music, and “extended reality” (yup, that’s from off their website). Part museum, part semi-escape room (think secret passages and portals to magical worlds) it’s an extremely unique not-to-miss experience.

We’re going to call this an activity – this tour takes you through Santa Fe’s best specialty-crafted margaritas while you restaurant/bar hop through the city. It actually explores 45 of Santa Fe’s best margaritas (good luck with that). You can actually get a paper Passport or download the app (see link below) to learn about […]

Just about a twenty minute drive from downtown Albuquerque, the Sandia Peak Tramway will take you to the top of Sandia Peak, which towers over the city at an elevation of about 10,300 feet. The views are incredible, and there are hiking trails up top as well.

This is a great B&B very close walking distance to the main square in Santa Fe with extremely nice hosts.
