BOB: Staff Pick

Frances Cheever, Alibi receptionist

 

Best Use of Local Tax Dollars

Main Library renovations. It looks like it's going to be worth it.

Best Women's Clothing

Relish—not the sandwich shop. It's a boutique in Nob Hill. They have a good selection, nice jeans.

Best Hairstylist

Leroy Archuleta. He cuts my boyfriend's hair. It's good.

Best Bowling Alley

Lucky 66. It's the only place I've been bowling in Albuquerque, so obviously, it's the best.

Best Brewpub

Kelly's. You can go there with your underage friends, and they let everybody in. But they still have really good beer.

Best Starbucks

Journal Center. I work there.

Best New Grocery Store

Trader Joe's. Finally!

Best Sports Bar

Fox & Hound. I watched the Steelers win the Superbowl there.

Best Bar to Dance In

Salsa night at the Martini Grill. Really, I just like to watch.

Best All-You-Can-Eat

Lunch at Taj Mahal. It's delicious. Tastes the best. Good price. Everything.

Best University/Nob Hill Bar

Zinc. I like being in the basement. It's nice. It's kind of dark, and it doesn't feel as expensive as it is.
