Where to go to be in the know...about travel
When people visit New Mexico and see restaurant names such as Tia’s Cocina and Marias, they immediately think they are in for some standard Mexican-American fare. You know… tacos, enchiladas and refried beans, usually smothered in yellow cheese. But you’ll be surprised when you visit places like Santa Fe and Albuquerque. New Mexico has a cuisine of its own. It is a blend of local Native foods, Hispanic foods and ranch cuisine of the high desert.
When you visit Santa Fe during the holidays, there is bound to be something interesting going on. I highly recommend these two markets as a way to see some of the best art and craft work that New Mexico has to offer. Both shows feature artists demonstrating their craft and both give you ample time to shop and visit with the artists.
