After your jog or bike along the Bosque trail, hit up Bike in Coffee aka Old Town Farm for a big coffee, smoothie, or delicious bite to eat! Food here is farm-to-table, grown outdoors (seasonally) and in the greenhouses on the property (off-season). Every dish is made with love, and it comes through in the flavor.

The 16 mile long Paseo del Bosque trail spans from Alameda on the north side of ABQ to past Rio Bravo on the south side. Grab a bike, lace up your sneakers, and get moving! My favorite parts of this trail are 1/2 mile south of the National Hispanic Cultural Center, early in the morning, when you'll likely see coyote and geese in the fields along the path. Another favorite area is along the Rio Grande Nature Center towards Montaño Rd; you can split off the main trail to the side and enjoy extra shade.

Open seasonally every Sunday 10 am - 2 pm (last day of the 2019 season is Oct 27). The Railyards market offers more handicrafts and less produce that the Downtown market, making it a sure spot to find souvenirs and gifts.

Happy Hours

This is a favorite among my girlfriends. Members can access the full restaurant and private area in the back, but the openly available area to visitors in the front is just as relaxing and beautiful. Tour the grounds on a spring or fall day and receive about three glasses of wine :)

This is the only place you really need to stop for wine in NM. In my opinion, they consistently produce winning vino, in different varieties, so there'll be something for everybody. They typically host tasting events on Saturdays at 2 pm, but are also available by appointment (call ahead).

Take your love of the pisco sour to the next level. Every cocktail is made with egg white, and you will love every one of them. Bonus: I've been here when they pull down a giant screen and project Mario Kart and other '90's favorites for patrons to play. Good times.

Arguably THE best rooftop bar in the city. You won't catch a view of the sunset, but you will glimpse the 'magic hour' when the Sandias show you their namesake color. The drinks are pretty good, too.

A wide variety of brews on tap; choose from indoor spaces, often with live music, indoor/outdoor pass through space, or outdoor space complete with backyard games. Consistently offers great sour beer and a good ambiance. Get the street tacos!
