Preaching to Converts
Medical marijuana is finally happening—but distributing it may be the least of New Mexico’s worries.

Brave Faces
Frank Buffalo Hyde illustrates the cross-contamination of his Native heritage with pop culture icons. A typical composition includes a depiction of a Native figure or artifact juxtaposed with a mass-produced object, often dessert, floating amid a field of dots or bright color.

Chi Dog Versus Chi Dog
The hot dog is the lowest form of sausage. So one has to ask, is it a back-handed compliment to suggest that Santa Fe turns out a better Chicago Dog than Chicago itself?

Fantastic coffee drinks and pastries in a funky old house in a funky old coal mining town.
Atrisco Café and Bar
New Mexican fare that reminds us that there is value in the middle path or, more aptly, where paths meet in the middle: farm fresh local ingredients and classic, fair-priced food.
The Bar at Rio Chama
If you're looking for Santa Fe in a bottle, look no farther than the bar at Rio Chama. Here is the town's most symptomatic restaurant venue: a place for good, strong drinks, the half-baked study of demographic trends and the scandals of their sometimes-sauced ambassadors.
