Interesting "Must See" Santa Fe NM
 
Looking for what to see and where to dine (reasonable rates) in Santa Fe NM. Weather in first weeks of April.

The International Folk Art Museum is one of the most charming museums you'll ever see. We thought it was delightful. <BR>As for restaurants, Santacafe is magnificent, but it may be more than you want to spend.

Coyote Cafe - just make sure and make advance reservations. Expect high prices, but fabulous food. Best steak I've ever had. Gotta love the Southwestern flair.

Side visit to Los Alamos is interesting. If you like spas, they have a unique one - ten thousand waves. Don't know if this restaurant is too spendy, but it was memorable when we visited a few years ago - Geronimo's. If you golf, Conchiti Lakes Golf (about 25 miles south) is really special. Enjoy!

hi, i like pasquals for breakfast//lunch _ reasonably priced, always crowded. the place next door, i can't remember its name, seems to catch their spillover and also has a nice breakfast//brunch. Also i like to eat on the rooftop bar at coyote cafe _ interesting food and a LOT cheaper than the main restaurant. cowgirl hall of fame is good for a drink. <BR>I am a fan of the Georgia Okeeffe museum, and agree with the previous poster about Ten Thousand Waves _ very cool Japanese-inspired spa, if you are on a budget just go have a bath in the outdoor hot tubs, they're wonderful.

We visited Santa Fe last month and decided to eat India cuisine after reading about a restaurant called India Palace. I would never have thought that Santa Fe New Mexico would have the best the best Indian food I have ever had but it does. This is outstanding food and the prices are very reasonable. We also love the fish tacos at Atomic Cafe.

Take a drive out to Bandelier National Monument and hike out to the cliff dwellings. Take a drive up to Chimayo; it's a small village that specializes in weaving rugs and such. <BR>The Puye Cliff Dwellings are nice. <BR>If you want a LONG day trip, drive up to Chaco Canyon. This Indian site is AWESOME. <BR>In town, strolll down the street, especially Canyon Road. <BR>I think the Cowgirl Hall of Fame is a great bar AND restaurant. It's off the beaten path, too. If you want to drop some dough but get a great meal, head out to Rancho Encantado - it's a hotel about 8 miles north of town. Tesuque Village Market has a great breakfast (about 5 miles north of town, just past the Bishop's Lodge.) <BR>Have fun.
