Looking for things to do this summer? Well, look no further because Albuquerque is the place to be! Whether you’re a resident or just visiting, Platinum Apartments invites you to explore the wonders of Downtown ABQ this summer.
Immerse Yourself in the Art Scene:
The Downtown Albuquerque Arts & Cultural District is where you can immerse yourself in up-and-coming local artists’ artwork. Visit the Albuquerque Artwalk on the first Friday of the month. You can experience the vibrancy of the arts district by starting at any of the featured galleries or joining in on the guided mural tour. Maybe take an art class at the Groove Artspace. With their help, you can create a mosaic, make a new piece of jewelry, or paint a wine glass.
Taste Some Local Brews:
Indulge in the refreshing world of local brews! Discover ABQ’s largest brewery, Marble Brewery, at their flagship brewery and taproom downtown. Here, they masterfully brew quality craft beer and offer an outdoor patio with live music for your enjoyment. Delight your taste buds with the wide variety of handcrafted beers and delectable menu options from the Scratch kitchen at Rio Bravo Brewery. For a truly unique experience, venture to Gravity Bound Brewing CO and savor their classic and creative beer styles or invigorating kombucha.
Shop for Locally Grown Foods:
Experience the best of local produce and artistry without leaving the city. Make a date with the Downtown Growers’ Market at Robinson Park on a summer Saturday morning. Here, you’ll find the freshest produce, lovingly grown by over 70 New Mexican producers. But that’s not all – immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere, explore the array of unique handcrafted art and goods, and savor the freshly prepared food offered by over 230 New Mexican vendors. It’s a one-stop shop for all your local needs.
Embrace ABQ Culture:
Visit this museum downtown to explore ABQ’s diverse and rich history. The Turquoise Museum is a dive into the history of turquoise, the official state gem of New Mexico. Its extensive collection of natural turquoise, research library, and hands-on exhibitions are also on display.
Get a Sense of Adventure:
Stumble your way into this hidden gem, Downtown’s best-kept secret. Visiting Founders Speakeasy is challenging, but it is worth the try once you find it, with its signature cocktails and ten house-infused spirits. If you get lost, stop inside at El Rey Liquors for guidance and directions to this prohibition-inspired speakeasy. Remember the password once you get there, though.
Experience Local Handcrafted Goods:
Take a trip back in time with the vintage feel of this tasting lounge. Town & Ranch is a must-visit destination for shopping for delectable artisan market foods and tasting Los Poblanos Botanical Spirits gin. Are you curious about how they make their handcrafted botanical body care products? Or how they make Los Poblanos Botanical Spirits? Join a tour of their production spaces and learn about the whole process.
