Hungry? Check Out Santa Fe’s Top 5 Food Finds

One of the great joys in exploring new places around the world is thoroughly sampling the local cuisine. I love supporting local businesses. They especially need a boost during Covid-times. Beyond that, I find the food and dining experience so much more interesting than at chain restaurants you find everywhere.

I absolutely love these restaurants. So much that I visited each on more than one occasion during my five-week sabbatical in Santa Fe. In fact, I was knighted a “temporary local”, an honor I hold dear.

Enjoy a Day Strolling Santa Fe’s Historic Plaza

Sabbatical or short-term visit, the point of staying walking distance from the most interesting neighborhoods or historic downtown area is to be able to walk out the front door and in no more than 20 - 30 minutes be exploring the city’s main points of interest. That’s why the Canyon Road area and nearby historic Plaza are ideal locations to target in Santa Fe.

Go on a Near-Home Sabbatical – Experience Santa Fe as a Temporary Local

Covid has definitely cramped my travel style. Turning lemons into lemonade, I found a way to reinvent my world-wide Travelista lifestyle by creating weeks-long adventures in the U.S. This is a fantastic way to experience the many different parts of my home country. And it’s a great approach for retirees, families with kids doing online learning or even millennials who can work remotely.
