You might enjoy a visit to the Palace of the Governors, right on the Plaza. Originally built in the early 17th century as Spain's seat of government, it now houses two museums. One ticket allows access to both the original museum and the newly opened (August '09) New Mexico History Museum, said to be one of the best history museums in the country.
Explore the plaza while you are there! Start with a stroll down Palace Avenue to the Plaza and walk by the Indians selling their crafts under the portal at the Palace of the Governors. Don't know how to find the best quality for the price? Slip into Ortega's and Packards jewelry stores to do some comparison shopping. Ask to see a couple of pieces and feel the weight, heft and color of the silver. This should give you a good idea for comparing with the jewelry under the portal. Also remember the Indians under the portal make their own pieces, thereby cutting out the middleman, so prices should be a good deal lower for the same quality. All pieces are made by the seller or their family, and you can feel confident you are getting quality work. There are hundreds more shops in downtown Santa Fe featuring clothing, jewelry, art and an assortment of souvenirs of Santa Fe.

Food scene
Head for lunch at The Shed, a long-time favorite among visitors and locals for authentic New Mexican cuisine. "What makes it New Mexican?" you may ask - I'll tell you in just two words- red or green! Chile makes life worth living for many Santa Feans. Not only is it packed with flavor and vitamin C, it also gives a great endorphin boost. The heat from the chile causes the body to believe it is under attack and results in the production of endorphins. Because there is no injury to the body, the endorphins are free to circulate the body, making you feel euphoric after a New Mexican meal. Green chiles are grown primarily in the southern portion of the state, and arguments abound as to what region grows the best chile. Most of the hottest (and tastiest) come from Hatch, but fine varieties grow in Socorro. Many, however, would argue that the best red chile comes from Chimayo. The Shed offers chile perfection in a beautiful old adobe casa. Try the enchiladas with Christmas, which means you get both red and green chile. If you want to choose one over the other, go for red at The Shed.

Walk 1 block west on San Francisco Street to Don Gaspar, turn left and walk down Water Street to Pasqual's. This is one of my very favorite Santa Fe restaurants. The food is great, the atmosphere cozy, and the walls are adorned with lively Mexican murals. Reservations are definitely recommended during the high season. Even in the low season, Pasqual's stays packed with locals. Consider sitting at the community table to engage in interesting conversations with regulars. Try the poblano chile stuffed with goat cheese and covered with a tantalizing sauce. Yummers! Also noteworthy is the Thai style fish with coconut milk, or Oaxacan inspired mole (Mexican chicken with chocolate with chile and spices. Fab-u-lous!! Not always on the menu, but if it is order the homemade vanilla ice cream with reduced balsamic vinegar swirl. The combination of sweet and sour will knock your socks off! The mood here is casual and comfortable, but great attention to detail sets this Santa Fe institution in a class by itself.

After the long trek up Canyon Road, you have the choice of settling in for a cup of tea at the Teahouse or for a more serious libation across the street at El Farol. El Farol is the oldest bar and restaurant in Santa Fe, specializing in tapas and Spanish food. The atmosphere is comfortable and friendly, and in the later hours the place fills up with regular locals who love to talk and kick it up on the dance floor. Housed in a quaint old adobe, there is a huge bar opening to a tiny dance floor. Most nights there is live music, featuring a variety of local talent, as well as a Flamenco Dinner Show on Saturday nights. This place is great for a fun night of eating, dancing, and drinking. Best of all, it is an easy walk from the inns, so you won't have to compromise yourself regarding alcohol consumption and driving. Have fun!

Now that you are culturally saturated and ready for a libation, head over to the historic La Fonda Hotel. Situated on the corner of the plaza, La Fonda has been hotel since the 1500's and is an integral part of Santa Fe's history. Many a public hanging occurred here, and the place is said to be haunted. Check out the beautiful lobby as you head for the bar. During warmer months, enjoy a margarita at the upstairs outdoor bar, with its memorable views of the entire downtown.

Art scene
head for Canyon Road - `the art and soul of Santa Fe'. You will notice Spanish colonial, Pueblo and American Territorial architecture as you stroll the 3⁄4 of a mile length of the street, with over 5 dozen galleries displaying paintings, sculpture, jewelry, photography, clothing and antiques. Canyon Road made the map beginning in 1920 with the presence of Los Cinco Pintores (the Five Painters, otherwise known as the "five nuts in mud huts"), Fremont Ellis, Will Shuster, Willard Nash, Jozef Bakos and Wladyslaw Mruk. The area became a mecca for other artists, drawn to Santa Fe by the light, landscape and culture of New Mexico. These poor artists settled in among the old adobes of Canyon Road, living in the back rooms, using the front for studio space, and displaying their art on the sidewalks. This tradition of displaying artwork outside is carried on by the galleries that line the street today.
