Due to popular demand, the annual Rail Yards Holiday Market has been extended to two days this year. December 9 and 10 from noon to 4pm, come out to the market to purchase made-from-scratch foods, artisan crafts and all sorts of lovely handmade gifts from over 200 local vendors. Bring a toy or book to donate to Barelas Children, and an old tree ornament to put on the Rail Yards giving tree. There’s free parking and a free shuttle service from the Gold Street Garage at Gold and Second Street. Remember to bring your reusable bags!

Weekly Specials: When It’s Your Job To Bring Cookies To The Holiday Party When It’s Your Job To Bring Cookies To The Holiday Party
You could go buy a pound of butter and turn your kitchen into a floury mess by baking some holiday cookies at home. If you’re not exactly the baking type, though, consider placing an order with a local bakery—either Burque Bakehouse (4321 Ellison Street NE) or Alchemy Confections Co. (alchemyconfectionco.com)—to get some of their holiday cookies just when you need them. Alchemy will even deliver treats right to your door (assuming your door is within the Albuquerque metro area).
Weekly Specials: Ethiopia Dinner At Farm & Table Ethiopia Dinner At Farm & Table
How many opportunities do you have to eat Ethiopian food in Albuquerque? Not many, I’d say. Which is why Farm & Table’s Ethiopian dinner is worth showing up for.

This one-night-only event takes place at Farm & Table (8917 Fourth Street NW) from 6 to 9pm on Monday, Dec. 11. Seats are $75. Make reservations by calling 503-7124.
