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.
