I found a great cafe in old town, that servers French food with a Mexican flare. If you go check out: La Crepe Michel. The city and surrounding area is also full of great museums. It gets a tad windy though, so be prepared.
Sandia Peak is a great place to spend a day. Ride the tram to the top, hike the rest of the way to the peak (about 2 miles or so), and have dinner at the top! Great winery nearby at Sandia Shadows.
It’s got beautiful views all around and it’s just great place to be! I loved the scenary, the people and all the great stuff there is to do. Definitely check out the hot air balloon festival!
“I will be spending the month of January in Albuquerque and since I have a great deal of time, I would like to go beyond the straight-up tourism. I am interested mainly in farms, gardens, sustainability, music and arts. Any ideas?”

Introduction to Albuquerqueby FROMMER'SNovember 20, 2006 Albuquerque is the gateway to northern New Mexico, the portal through which most domestic and international visitors pass before traveling on to Santa Fe and Taos. But it's worth stopping in Albuquerque for a day or two in order to get a feel for the history of this area. From the rocky crest of Sandia Peak at sunset, one can see the lights of this city of almost half a million people spread out across 16 miles of high desert grassland. As the sun drops beyond the western horizon, it reflects off the Rio Grande, flowing through Albuquerque more than a mile below. (read article)
