Loved The Shed! Last time I was in Santa Fé we visited Meow Wolf and there's a diner nearby that looks like any standard chain diner from the outside, but which delivers really outstanding New Mexican cooking. I beiieve it's on Cerillos Road, right where Meow Wolf is.
Or just have some entertainment other then museums and art, (I don't mind the throwing hands parts either). But back in my day it was Pecos I had the most fights. People from burque always been cool. Wife's from Spana so no issues there.
If you ever take a trip up here let me know on here and I'll hook you up with some G.H. Louisiana Flake. Orderd so much of that stuff I couldn't smoke it all in 10 years so don't mind hooking a brother up.
I think it might be Tortilla Flats or El Comal both awsome places to eat for authentic New Mexican. But there are some many little holes in the wall around that part of town I could be way off lol.
We need to stop all this food talk now I want some enchiladas ???
Many years ago there was a restaurant called Josie's, located in a brick house with a wide porch, about a block off the Plaza, that served amazing food. When Josie closed it to just do catering there was widespread mourning in Santa Fé. She briefly reopened for a year, then closed again. I still remember the wonderful meals I had there with my brother, sister-in-law, and their kids.
Could be Tortilla Flats. That seems familiar.
Coyote Café? (I pulled up a map and scanned the road, but found no other familiar except that one.)
In any event, there's at least one other on Cerillos I liked. Recalled Blake's lota Burger.
Somewhat surprising to me is I spotted a couple of Taco Bells in my search....
Just saw the mention of Josie's .... yeah, long ago!
I am wondering if the statue of the Native American was removed, or at least the graffiti and desecration cleaned up.

I have thought New Mexico would be a wonderful place for when I retire….. warmth!!!! What is the pipe and pipe tobacco brick & mortar situation like in New Mexico these days? Anything noteworthy?
Santa Fé had a very nice B&M when I was last there. I hope it's still there.
We have 3 places that sell bulk, Lane, Match, and C&D. Primo Cigars, and a small shop right off the plaza with a little lounge (cant think of the name). But it's mostly basket pipes but really nice meerschaums. The best of all 3 is Staggs tobbaconist. It was once located in the D' Vargas mall but now it's on Cerillos rd in the middle of town.
They have really good house blends named, Santa Fe #1 - #5. #5 is like a way better lane 1q. And then "Hobbits Friend" for us Tolkien guys or gals is just a really great aromatic I can send some samples of. The C&D stuff is the norm OJK, Bayou Morning etc. They sold tins forever of alot of great brands but recently remodeled and the owner expressed to me the profit margins on tins isnt what they were and are only gonna sell bulk.
I can't complain because it started at tins for 30% and then 60% off, my celler grew exponentially. The briar and meerschaum pipes here are wonderful jacopos, caminetto, Ashton, etc and then baskets of course i dont mind paying a slight markup to see and touch a pipe before i buy it. But if you partake in a good Ole Cee'gar every now and then Santa Fe is the place to be.
Staggs sounds like the store I visited some years back. I bought a pound of an English blend called Physicist in honor of the Manhattan Project, which had its offices in Santa Fé before moving to Los Alamos.
My brother was a theoretical physicist who was a project leader at the labs.
Wow that's pretty awsome. I have a few family members who worked there during that time (way before my time lol) sound like it was a wild time to be alive. I think I was ment to be born in those days ?
