Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Melina Toman and Nick Canessa
We're so excited to share a few of our favorite places in New Mexico! Most out of town guests will fly into the Albuquerque Sunport, and drive about 40 minutes to Santa Fe, where the wedding will take place. Because we love both Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and you will likely spend time in both, we have included recommendations in both cities. We have noted in which city with each establishment below. We know you will enjoy all New Mexico has to offer! Some additional notes on Albuquerque: Beer lovers! You’ll be delighted to learn there are over 25 craft breweries in Albuquerque for you to enjoy while you’re in town! *Pop Fizz Paleteria at the National Hispanic Cultural Center is fantastic. Nice to eat a popsicle and walk along the bosque trail to the west of the center *the Torreón at the NHCC has a 360 degree fresco that is amazing *There are native dances every Friday, Saturday & Sunday at the IPCC. Each weekend is a different family representing one of the many tribes in NM.

Old Town in Albuquerque offers an authentic Southwestern experience, blending old world pride, heritage and landmark architecture with unique art galleries, traditional and modern art, history, museums, handmade crafts, specialty foods and other unique shopping opportunities. Old Town is also home to amazing museums including the Albuquerque Museum of Art & History, New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science, Explora Science Center, the Turquoise Museum and others.
