Shopping & Dining
 The diversity of Albuquerque shopping centers makes traveling to Albuquerque a joy for bed and breakfast travelers world wide. Albuquerque shops range from specialty and souvenir, to galleries, antique and huge malls with lots of stores and restaurants. There's even a flea market at the Fair Grounds with hundreds of vendors just waiting for you to stop by. However, if you're in search of some local gifts, crafts or art spend some time browsing in Old Town. The specialty shops and galleries sell all types of souvenirs, gifts, pottery, Native American and Southwestern handmade jewelry and artwork. Whatever you are looking for, you are sure to find it in Albuquerque's shopping centers.
When the shopping is complete, pull up a seat at one of the cafes' and try a glass of New Mexico's award-winning wine or a nice cold brew over lunch. The cuisine is everything you would expect and more. Albuquerque dishes are prepared with a combination of Mexican, Native American and Spanish ingredients. Many of the recipes include beans, corn and squash, but the spicy chilies (the state fruit) are the key ingredient. The green chili peppers are used to spice up sauces, they're fried, and stuffed inside of delicious breakfast burritos, or added to a tasty stew. The red chilies are made into sauces and drizzled over stacks of tamales and enchiladas. Try a corn dog Albuquerque style, or some spicy corn soup with hand-rolled sopaipillas (fried bread) on the side and a yummy flan (custard) for dessert. Albuquerque's delectable cuisine has been delighting the taste buds of bed and breakfast fans for years. See what the fuss is about by experiencing Albuquerque dining yourself. Do so by booking a stay at one of Albuquerque's fine bed and breakfasts, many of which are conveniently located near downtown districts filled with restaurants, bars and pubs.
