New Mexico’s Nob Hill<\/strong>
\nTaking its name from San Francisco’s elite neighborhood, the historic shopping and dining district of Nob Hill is located on Route 66 from Girard to Washington, and Lomas to Silver. Old Route 66 takes a decidedly different turn as it stretches through Nob Hill near the University of New Mexico, blending a sophisticated and eclectic variety of shops that display everything from antiques to organic produce, designer to vintage clothes, new and used books, unique items, and one-of-a-kind accessories. The Highland business district is bounded by Copper Avenue to the north, Silver Avenue\/Highland High School to the south, Washington Street on the west, and San Mateo Boulevard to the east. Numerous services make the Nob Hill-Highland District a convenient place to shop and run errands at the same time. For more information, contact:<\/p>\n

Albuquerque Old Town
\nSince 1706, Old Town with its Spanish style plaza has been the historic focal point and the very heart of the Albuquerque community’s rich heritage. The first families settled near the banks of the Rio Grande, forming a colonial farming village along with a military outpost along the Camino Real between Chihuahua and Santa Fe. The village formed in the traditional Spanish pattern of a central plaza surrounded by a church, homes, and government buildings. Some of these vintage homes are still standing, while many others have been renovated into charming retail and business establishments.<\/p>\n

Today, dozens of shops, galleries and several excellent eateries surround the original town plaza. Many of the shops offer Southwestern items such as jewelry and pottery, but this area is also home to a number of unique clothing stores and gift shops. Hidden garden patios invite weary shoppers to take a refreshing rest under the shade of lush greenery. Bounded by Rio Grande Boulevard to the West, Central Avenue to the South, and Mountain Road to the North, this charming historic district has all the casual elegance and grace of Southwestern hospitality. Delightful areas like Plaza Don Luis and San Felipe Plaza are more recent additions to the scene that preserve the rustic atmosphere of yesterday.
