Hello all!
My boyfriend and I are moving to ABQ in September with our two dogs, beagle and pitt mix. We want to rent a house that allows dogs with a fenced yard, within a reasonable price range, yet close to UNM and nob hill area. is this realistic? are there particular neighborhoods where the landlords are more welcomign to pets? thanks!
You shouldn't have any problems in that area with a pet friendly rental. As a matter of fact, there are lots of houses in the region you mentioned that fit your needs. There are also a few official, and unofficial dog parks in the area that will let you and yours play outside even :) So come on over and have fun!
Take the tram to the top of the Sandia Mountain, or if you're adventurous, hike the La Luz trail to the top and enjoy the view of Albuquerque below. Southwestern/Mexican food!!! There is a serious lack of good Southwestern/Mexican food in Boston/Cambridge. Tex/Mex is a poor imitation and is too Americanized. I wish I had more picture of Albuquerque to show, but I just got my digital camera last Nov. and I've only been home for a few days since.
You can easily do a lot of walking in the Albuquerque area, so packing comfortable walking shoes is a must. In Old Town, for example, the sidewalks and streets are a mix of irregular old brick with steps up and down everywhere. Outside the city itself, there are many wonderful hiking trails along the bosque and in the Sandia Mountains to the east. Take it all in, as the views are breathtaking , but wear comfortable, safe walking shoes.
Our temperatures often fluxuate much as 30 degrees in one day, from night time temperatures in the 50's to noon time temps in the 90's during Summer, so plan to dress in layers.
Albuquerque is NOT a "fashionista place". We wear what we like, regardless of current fashions, although we do know how to dress up if the occasion dictates. Nice jeans and a shirt are totally acceptable in all but the top restaurants. Regardless of what you pack, do bring a hat of some kind as our sun here can heat you up quickly. Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen. We're a mile high here and you will burn quickly without it. Sunglasses with good UV protection are a must here. It's sunny most days here and at 5000 feet-plus in altitude, you'll be thankful that you remembered them.
There are many hiking trails along the bosque of the Rio Grande river. The river winds its way through the city with a lush cottonwood forest following it. You don't have to leave the city to get completely away from the city. Unfortunately, due to drought the river is really drying up.
This is one of my favorite New Mexican food restaurants in Albuquerque. They have the most annoyingly friendly hostess I have ever seen! She is great! There are also very reasonable prices. Make sure you get sopaipilla's with your meal (they are complimentary). If you don't want to look like a tourist, ask for them to be sent at the end of the meal and then drench them in honey! Stuffed chicken, refritos, and cheese sopaipilla. For something different, I would recommend the Tostada de California (especially if you're a guacamole fan). The salsa here is by far the best in town (although most people will say otherwise-this is a notable debate in NM-who has the best green chile, salsa, etc...).
Basically, all of the beer in New Mexico is mediocre at best. The exception to that rule is Chama River. I have had a few of their beers to this point and they were all very good. I look forward to trying more in the future. Overall this place is well designed and has a thorough selection of beer and food. The brewery is on premise. the beer (they have 10 taps)
