What About Taos Is So Attracting?

"Far More To Taos"
Almost 40 years ago, I came to New Mexico to ski Taos. Been here since. In the same spirit of the Remmington shaver company owner (he liked it so much, he bought it), I too bought into the Taos lodging scene in 1975. Been doing that since. Come see us at Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza. http://www.newmex.cim/indianhillsinn
Taos has a vast number of interest points for all sorts of people. Many love the artisitic expressions available in the galleries and schools/seminars. Perhaps you're more into the history and culture shown so well in the 5 downtown museums with more nearby. Taos Pueblo offers a number of facets for the Taos visitor from arts, to history, with cultural studies, even New Mexico's only non smoking casino.
For the outdoor enthusiast, the list is almost endless. Skiing, hiking, climbing, fishing, hunting, biking, rafting, golfing, more. Sight seeing and photography are also pursuits that many folks enjoy immensely.
Don't forget the official question for the state of New Mexico...Red or Green? That of course refers to how you'd like your New Mexican food served, with red or green chili. Add a little spice to your life. Taos offers a wide range of foods and food service establishments.
Taos is truly Living :Life at a Higher Level!

Special dinner near/in Taos
by oleeanna
We are all traveling to New Mexico for Dad's 80th and want to celebrate with dinner out while staying near Taos. There will be 11 of us. I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks

Happy Birthday to Dad. Wow. 80!!! I would suggest the best gourmet dinner spot in Taos, but then I don't know your tastes. Maybe Dad can only have oatmeal. lol...But if it is special and for dinner, and Dad's tastebuds are still active, then no finer place to have a special birthday than Joseph's Table, right inside the La Fonda Hotel on Taos Plaza. Gourmet delite and a night out to remember. See their website: http://www.josephstable.com/

Our hands-down favorite in that area is Rancho Chimayo (in Chimayo) halfway between Santa Fe and Taos. The drive is stunning and the food fabulous. You could book one of their private rooms or weather permitting, eat outside.

2 good suggestons above.
The Old Blinking Light is a local favorite. Good location, pleasant , friendly atmosphere, decent food, good drinks and moderately priced.
The Stakeout, 7 or 8 miles out of town toward Espanola has delicious food, fussy service and high prices. And an incredibly beautiful view toward the setting sun.

Doc Martins at the Taos Inn is always a good choice. Lamberts is about 3 blocks South of historic Taos Plaza (a block South of Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza) and also a good choice. Stop by the Inn for further guidance and help.

Doc Martin's at Taos Inn is a good choice, but not for <"Dad's 80th">.
