Gravity Bound Brewery - small spot but extremely well crafted beers and kombucha
Bow & Arrow Brewery - the only female, native owned brewery in the USA

Farm & Table - top notch, farm to table restauraunt.
El Cotorro - arguably the best tacos in the city

Frontier Restaurant - low key, NM staple right on Route 66. Awesome spot for well priced breakfast

Hike the petroglyphs trail
Take a bike ride or hike in the Bosque (ABQ is the only city in the US with an "undeveloped" river running through it.
