You better come ready to eat! I highly recommend for the best New Mexican restaurant and less than 10 minutes from Urban Casita. Sadie's holds many of Albuquerque's favorites, serving the best corn chips and salsa, the best sopapillas and the best margaritas.

This is a great brunch spot.

Sightseeing

Five minutes from the casita, the Cultural Center is an Albuquerque landmark. You can stop by for a tour or event then finish your visit with an authentic and delicious Native American meal. My favorite event to see it the holiday gingerbread contest, runs December - January.

This is a beautiful property to visit on a sunny New Mexico day. I recommend making brunch or dinner reservations in advance for the restaurant Campo. Or, casually you can enjoy coffee, pastries, and sandwiches at the Farm Shop. There are bikes on the property for you to use as well.
