In the morning , head out on a shopping excursion — there ’ s Native American jewelry and pottery for almost every budget at Tin-Nee-Ann Trading Co . or rummage for antiques , consignments and vintage homeware at The Raven . Then there ’ s Jackalope , offering everything from jewelry to rugs , ceramics and pottery .
Shopping complete , hop on board the new Sky Railway , which opened in December 2021 , for a trip south through the scenic desert to the old railroad town of Lamy . Billed as an ‘ adventure train ,’ the journeys are themed around local history , wine and beer tasting . Lunch at the legendary Legal Tender , a 19th-century , Old West saloon and
|
the oldest operating bar in the state . If the train is too time consuming , visit Meow Wolf , a fantastical , immersive art-museum experience co-created by Game of Thrones writer George R . R . Martin .
Back in town , spend the evening exploring the galleries and cafes in the revamped Santa Fe Railyard , and stop for a local brew at Second Street Brewery . If a night out is on the cards , follow the Santa Fe Margarita Trail , or just settle in on the patio at El Farol for a flamenco performance and Spanish tapas washed down with a Smoking Bull Margarita made with Kimo Sabe mezcal and Chimayo red chile . You can ’ t get any more New Mexican than that .
