Sadie’s Dining Room: Spicy Mexican Fare

August 14, 2013 by

Sadie's Dining Room is serving authentic Mexican food to Albuquerque. Be warned, the food is spicy. If you like spice you are in for a treat. Start your meal with the complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa packs a little heat, getting you ready for your meal. Come hungry, the portions are huge. Diners say it's not uncommon to enjoy your meal for the next two to three days. All dinner options come to red or green Chile for you to smother over your entree. Try the marinated pork, beef brisket, or chili relleno. Get the combination platter to sample more of the menu. A meal at Sadie's isn't expensive but it's not cheap but for the amount of food and great service you're getting it's money well spent.

Guild Cinema: Restoring Cinema

August 7, 2013 by

Neighborhood cinemas are a dying breed, which is why it’s important to patronize those still alive and kicking. Guild Cinema is one such place worth visiting. This independent theater shows art, cult, and foreign films to audiences fed up with chain theaters that cost an arm and a leg just to get in the door, not to mention the exorbitant prices at the snack bar. Here you can see quality films that you may have missed at your typical first run joints. In addition to films The Guild also features a fair number of special events, including presentations on certain aspects of cinema, retrospectives, and individualized showings of popular films, such as a mom’s matinee, film club offerings, etc. Be sure to check out the Guild’s midnight movie night featuring some of the most beloved cult films around. With five dollar matinees, student specials, and other sweet deals you’d be remiss to pass up a chance to visit Guild Cinema.
