New Mexico is often overlooked when it comes to tourism, so let me show you why it’s worth a visit. Besides “Breaking Bad” and “High School Musical.” Here’s what The Duke City has in store for you.
Food: Stop by Frontier or one of Golden Pride’s four locations for a breakfast burrito — yes, burrito — and a sweet roll, which is sorta like a gigantic buttery cinnamon roll. Just trust us.
Outdoors: Take a trip to the ABQ BioPark — a triad consisting of the city zoo, aquarium, and botanical garden — which simply has too much to see and do in one day.
Vrbo: This Spanish Casita with a rooftop deck is just minutes from downtown and old town. (~$90/night)*
