Food scene
For a more upscale full-service bar, you can't beat the rooftop bar at Hotel Chaco. Its 4 miles away from the house. I'm obsessed with it! Its a bit pricey, and a tad more formal (ie: no shorts or workout gear), but totally worth it! Get a petroglyph martini!

Ang dapat iempake
Casual clothes! Dress in layers!
ABQ is not a formal place! We like to dress casually - think jeans and tees or blouses. Dress in layers in the fall, winter, and spring, because temperatures range wildly throughout the day. You're unlikely to need a heavy coat in any season unless you're doing some skiing.
Paano makapaglibot
Uber, Lyft, and driving are the best ways to get around
ABQ's public transportation can be iffy, so if you can swing it, drive. Walking is usually safe in all areas during the day, but be aware of your surroundings. At night, be alert, and avoid walking in alleys. Basically, common sense.
Mga kapaki-pakinabang na parirala
What does "red or green?" mean?
Waiters may ask you "red or green?". This means, "would you like red chile, or green chile?" If you've never tried New Mexican chile, I'd suggest ordering "Christmas on the side" (red AND green), so you can give it a try on your own terms.
Mga kagawian at kultura
Always ask permission before taking a photo of tribal dancers, or artists.
If on tribal land, be respectful, and make sure you only attend events or gatherings you are specifically invited to.
Paano makapaglibot
Street-side parking downtown is free on the evenings (after 5) and weekends.
Otherwise, pay meter.
Huwag palampasin
The Sunday Railyard's Market is a must!
Beautiful artwork, souvenirs, and fun!

We call NM "the land of mañana"
Mañana means "tomorrow". Our saying means that we take our time, don't generally rush, and expect pleasantries and short conversation before requesting service or ordering a meal from someone.
