This little place is a gem. The old motel was converted to restaurants and shops surrounding an outdoor patio. A perfect place to grab a bite - everyone can select the food of their choice and meet up at one of the tables in the courtyard to enjoy it together. There is often music and plenty to see as you stroll through the shops. Easy to combine this with a trip to the botanic gardens and aquarium which are just across the street.

Sightseeing

The Old Town Plaza hosts outdoor concerts in the gazebo during the summer and offers many souvenier shops and art studios to wander through while you visit. When you're hungry step over to the Pizza Parlor for homemade pizza and a drink (check out the enclosed outdoor patio if there is space) or the Backstreet Grill for made-on-the-spot, to-die-for guacamole.

Parks & Nature

Stroll through the gardens, visit the Bugarium and see the enchanted gardens, complete with a giant pumpkin, underground carrots you can walk beside, and a life-size maze. The Aquarium is right next door and is worth a stop as well to visit the otters and experience the shark tank. Then take a train on over to the zoo to complete a day at the Albuquerque Bio Park.

A neighborhood park that is always alive with walkers and their dogs and neighborhood folks that is about .5 miles from the Casita. On Tuesdays from 4pm-8pm, food trucks line up around the park for a regular neighborhood block party. Enjoy a variety of cuisine from wood fired pizza to home cooking, BBQ and shrimp and grits. Top it off with an ice cream taco from Pop Fizz! There is live music, outdoor yoga (drop-ins welcome) and plenty of people willing to chat.

Food scene

Ten 3 sits atop the Sandia Mountains and has the most amazing views of the sunset and city at night. An extra treat is to travel to your dinner location by the country's longest tram ride. The ambiance and service are exquisite. The food is quite good. The views are stunning. Reservations are required for the dining area - though seating in the bar is open but still very busy - which is a good sign. I have hopes to hike up the La Luz trail, which ends right at the restaurant and grab a beer and a burger some fall afternoon!

Sweet and savory waffle options galore! The patio in the back is much more inviting and picturesque than the scattered picnic tables in front of the restaurant would convey. There is also indoor seating. If you go on the weekends you may just have to grab a table wherever you can find an open seat as it often fills up quickly.
