Marvel at the physics-defying spiral staircase built one winter long ago. It’s a lovely story and a respite from the hustle and bustle of the Plaza activity. – Cathryn
Perfect place to find books on New Mexico, art or even a locally-written thriller. Good coffee bar and pastries, and if you get lucky, you might even catch a talk by one of many well-known authors. – Jenn
You simply can’t miss this toy and novelty shop on the corner of Water Street and Don Gaspar Avenue. Housed in a former hotel dating back to the early 1900s, this is the place to find that unusual card or gift. – Jenn
A tiny shop with more clothes than you can imagine! Fun, colorful, artsy styles, reasonably priced and perfect for crafting your own distinctive Santa Fe look. – Jenn
A colorful, casual spot high above Water Street, just a block from the Plaza and perfect for people-watching. The Silver Coin margs are excellent! – Jenn
Is there anything better than a delicious drink and a stunning view? Enjoy both at the Belltower. – Gabbie
Sit on the patio and enjoy a glass of the Sauvage Rosé. – Jossie
The Bull Ring bar is the gathering place of all the movers and shakers in town. Steaks are succulent, well-flavored and generously portioned. Don’t forget the creamed spinach and au gratin potatoes! – Jenn
Beautiful space with an evocative menu and my favorite courtyard in Santa Fe. – Fred
A long-time go-to created in 1987 by Mark Miller but elevated to its current brilliance by Quinn Stephenson and his incredible team. Curated cocktails for playfully choreographed fare have made this a must in Santa Fe. – Fred
All of us should be so lucky to call Sophia “auntie.” In my opinion, the authentic chile in Santa Fe. The breakfast burrito and familiar faces make it a stop 3-4 times a week for me. – Fred
A fun, colorful spot right on the Plaza. Try the blue corn piñon pancakes for a regional take on a classic breakfast dish! – Gabbie
A half-mile stroll down Canyon Road packs a punch with more than a hundred art galleries, boutiques and restaurants. – Carmela
With several museums to see and the Santa Fe Botanical Garden to explore, it’s easy to spend an entire day at Museum Hill. – Kristina
Hit the Dale Ball Trails, or, for a gentle hike, go to the Randall Davey Audubon Center, which also features a gorgeous botanical garden. – Jenn
A Japanese-inspired spa-centric sanctuary. Get a private massage in one of the little wooden cabins surrounded by fragrant pines. – Jenn
An award-winning restaurant, often listed among the best in the world. Incredible menu located on the historic Canyon Road. Always a favorite. – Fred
This mountain escape offers small Japanese-inspired plates in a serene environment. The menu changes seasonally, so there’s almost always something new to try. – Kristina
The first interactive art installation of its kind, Meow Wolf is a multi-level sensory experience that is impossible to describe. Immerse yourself in the conceptual story and explore clues throughout the “House of No Return.” – Cathryn
Should you somehow tire of New Mexican fare (is that really possible?), you’ll find remarkably different cuisine at Chef Ahmed Obo’s Jambo Cafe. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu at this award-winning African- and Carribean-inspired establishment. – Kristina
Take a culinary adventure and cook up something tasty with a cooking class at Santa Fe School of Cooking. Try the Traditional New Mexican class for a taste of Santa Fe! – Carmela
A downtown museum dedicated to the iconic, trailblazing artist who made Northern New Mexico her home. – Kristina
A consignment store like no other! The front of the store features a wall of cowboy boots in every size and color, cases of Native American jewelry, and high-end glamorous women’s couture. – Cathryn
Perfect for a casual, quick and tasty bite. – Kelley
Grab a delicious sweet treat while you stroll the streets of Santa Fe! An office favorite is the chewy gingersnap cookie. – Jossie
Sit at the bar where you can watch the creation of their specialty cocktails. I must have an Abuelito and at least one order of their smoked pork ribs every visit! – Kelley
A great place for friends to sip craft cocktails in cute glassware before slipping off to the Violet Crown for a movie. – Kristina
