by Destinations & Lodging Examiner Jacky Runice - January 9, 2010
New Mexico should be on your travel calendar for 2010 and why not visit during its first-ever Restaurant Week, scheduled for February 28th to March 6th in Santa Fe and March 7th to 13th in Albuquerque?
Warm up via extraordinary menus from the area’s finest restaurants – and enjoy fantastic lodging packages – at very attractive prices.
As of today, over 60 restaurants and hotels are participating in both cities. Restaurants are featuring three-course, prix-fixe dinner menus for $25 per person, $25 for two, or, at a few others, $40 per person. Several more eateries are expected to sign on in the next few weeks. Take a look at the SLIDESHOW below.
Take advantage of special rates at hotels so you can sample several restaurants and attend one of the many cooking classes, wine tastings and other activities offered in conjunction with New Mexico Restaurant Week.
Participating hotels to date include the Encantado Resort & Spa, Hotel Santa Fe, The Inn & Spa at Loretto, the Santa Fe Sage Inn, and the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa.
A variety of culinary activities taking place during Restaurant Week include cooking and mixology demonstrations and wine tastings.
