Uptown/East Side
Just east of Nob Hill and south of Northeast Heights, Uptown and the East Side bridge the older and historic parts of Route 66 with the newer, somewhat suburban-looking parts of the city. The only attraction in these parts is the new National Museum of Nuclear Science & History. Few visitors spend time here, except to check out the shopping and dining at ABQ Uptown and Coronado Mall, which are also close to a few hotels.
