New Mexico Restaurant Week to Premier Feb. 28-March 13, 2010
Winter is a blast in New Mexico

"Red or green?" may be New Mexico's official state question, but diners will be facing many more delectable choices when the state's first Restaurant Week promotion debuts in Santa Fe (February 28th to March 6th) and Albuquerque (March 7th to 13th). It's a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience extraordinary menus from the area's finest restaurants - and enjoy fantastic lodging packages - at very attractive prices.

To date, more than 70 restaurants and hotels are participating in both cities. Restaurants are featuring three-course, prix-fixe dinner menus for $25 per person, $25 for two, or, at a few restaurants, $40 per person. Several more participants are expected to sign on in the next few weeks.

Out-of-town visitors will be able to take advantage of special rates at several hotels, giving them an opportunity to sample several restaurants and attend one of the many cooking classes, wine tastings and other activities offered in conjunction with New Mexico Restaurant Week. Participating hotels to date include El Corazon Residences, El Rey Inn, Encantado Resort & Spa, Hotel Andaluz, Hotel Santa Fe, Inn of the Anasazi, Inn & Spa at Loretto, the Santa Fe Sage Inn, and the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa.
