Restaurants:

 Albuquerque Originals You Will LOVE!

The Frontier - The best Cinnamon Rolls and Tortillas in all existence.   Open 24 hours.  Everyone in Albuquerque eats here at some time.

The 66 Diner - The best Milkshakes in all existence.  Quality American Food. 

The Flying Star -  The best Desserts in all existence.  Fantastic people watching, especially the one on Central.

Graze - Wonderful, sensational food.  Everything is a "small plate", which means you get to order lots of little things and share with your sweetie or friends (you don't have to though).  Everything is local and/or organic. 

The Artichoke Cafe - Fine Dining at it's best.  Everyone who is someone has eaten here.  French, Italian and Creative American.

 

Night Clubs

always great night time fun.

Exhale - Officially a lesbian bar but lots of people go.  Saturday night they play sets of dance, hip-hop, country, and Latin music.  After 10 pm it is always a full dance floor.  Warning - don't order a mixed drink or you WILL get ripped off.  Stick to single shots (if you want a double order 2) or bottled beer.

Carom Club - Upscale smoke free billiards bar.  I had the ABSOLUTELY BEST asparagus EVER there!!  (Italian or French plate).  An excellent sit down bar.  Beautiful relaxing atmosphere.  Serves food late.

Martini Grill - The best cocktails EVER!  Serves food also.

O-pm - Wonderful drinks.  Beautiful Dance floor.  Beautiful Lounge.  Beautiful People.

Firewomyn - The Ultimate Womyn Only Event (mostly lesbians).  About once a month at different clubs on Sunday night.
