In Nob Hill, Stone Mountain Bead Gallery has moved down to the east end of the neighborhood, at 4008 Central Ave.

Seventh Goddess has moved west, opposite Flying Star, to 3503 Central Ave.

Downtown, Visiones Gallery is shut.

And maybe I’m repeating myself, but Saints & Martyrs in Old Town is also closed.

North of Santa Fe

June 14, 2010

in Attractions, Food & Drink, Santa Fe, Shopping

O Eating House, in Pojoaque, is now a fairly upscale Italian restaurant (but it has the same name). It looks good, if completely different!

The stock at Chimayo Trading Post has dwindled significantly. The owner (his partner passed away) is quite old and doesn’t seem to be restocking the place. Still, if you’ve never been, it’s worth a stop–there are still some treasures here.

In Chimayo, the separate Santo Nino de Atocha chapel has been spruced up and is open all the time now–it’s a bit more modern, but sweet. Take a peek inside, especially in the side chapel.

Santa Fe changes

June 14, 2010

As I noted before, the NM history museum is now open. Signage is not quite as detailed as I’d like, but otherwise it’s a nice introduction. The exhibits in the Palace of the Governors (now accessible via the history museum) are the same, fortunately–I find these more interesting.
Walking tours run by the museum go from [...]

Addison Arts (p. 46) is shut.

Chuck Jones (p. 46) has moved up to Palace Ave, downstairs from Fusion (ex-Swig).
Maya (p. 47) is open only till 6pm, at least this time of year. That 9pm closing must be only for summer high season—sorry about [...]

Price-Dewey

January 30, 2007

This Santa Fe gallery on the plaza (p. 46) has effectively shut. The new incarnation is Victoria Price Contemporary Art & Design, at 550 S. Guadalupe St. in the railyard–and, as the name suggests, the emphasis is much more on new work, rather than the rugs and turquoise jewelry.

A couple of Santa Fe changes

January 24, 2007

First, Cookworks (p. 48) is closed, and that is not news at all, since it happened in late 2005. I just haven’t had my eyes open wide enough the past few times I’ve driven through town–sorry.
Prices on the four city-managed museums–Palace of the Governors, Museum of Fine Arts, Folk Art, and Indian Arts & [...]

Closures in Madrid and Cerrillos

September 20, 2006

In Madrid, the shop Woofy Bubbles (p. 175) is shut, as is Talking Bridge Gallery (same page), which had the old soda fountain in it.  Chances are, whoever rents that space next will operate the soda fountain as well, so all is not lost.
And I thought Madrid was looking a little tidier than usual…and it [...]
