Some highlights of Old Town Albuquerque. Where Central (RT66) intersects Rio Grande Blvd just east of the river, you'll find Old Town! Park near the plaza and it's very walkable. Shops, jewelry, art, restaurants, museums and much more are all in the area.

Here is a little sample of Downtown ABQ night life. Downtown is widely regarded as Central Blvd (RT66) from about 1st street until 7th street and a few blocks North and South of that area as well. There are excellent restaurants, hotels, and bars all in easy walking distance of each other. Live music venues, dance clubs, and a variety of other late night options are all in that stretch. The clubs typically close around 2am or so.

It was about time to do a more thorough post about Hotel Zazz in Nob Hill, Albuquerque. The rooms, vibes, and speakeasy are fantastic! The pool party with live bands is definitely a must see!

I have to say this is one of the coolest events in Albuquerque! Classic cars and customs line the streets around Old Town Plaza. Photo ops galore and free for spectators to attend! Excellent souvenir shopping, fantastic restaurants, and historic landmarks all while surrounded by rolling works of art. Highly recommended! Sept 19th, 2026 in the morning!
