Canyon Road District is home to over 80 local art galleries and fun boutiques. A short walk from the Plaza and a wonderful way to spend a beautiful morning or afternoon.
If you want a true New Mexican breakfast, we can't recommend Cafe Pasqual's enough. Please note that they do not take reservations for breakfast, so it's better to get there on the early side.
Ps. The restaurant has fun yearly calendars for sale at the counter!
Another great restaurant in the heart of the Plaza! A staple for your itinerary. Their breakfast and lunch are our favorites!! Highly recommend the huevos rancheros.
The Loretto Chapel is a former catholic church and now is used as a museum. The chapel is known for its unusual helix-shaped spiral staircase (the "Miraculous Stair"). It has been the subject of legend, and the circumstances surrounding its construction and its builder were considered miraculous by the Sisters of Loretto, who credited St. Joseph with its construction.
La Boca is a wonderful dinner option for any tapas lovers. It's a small, intimate restaurant with a wonderful drink list and amazing Spanish-inspired dishes. You will need to book in advance for a spot!

Located in the Saint Frances Hotel, the Gruet Tasting Room is a great place to try some delicious wine and sit outside under the New Mexico sun.
