“One of the best kept bowling alleys in town,” a Yelp reviewer raves about Skidmore’s Holiday Bowl. Indeed, most Yelp reviewers have positive things to say about this 32-lane alley in Albuquerque.

Your experience at Holiday Bowl will depend on what day you visit. There is open bowling all day, every day, while Karaoke Night takes place on Thursday evenings (be prepared for crowds and college students!). Make a reservation to secure a lane for the alley's popular black light bowling experience, Galactic Bowl, which is held on weekend evenings. After hitting down a few pins, refuel at the 300 Club Grill, the alley's on-site restaurant, then sip a martini at Vodka Venue, Holiday Bowl's full service bar specializing in vodka cocktails.

Holiday Bowl is open 9 a.m. to midnight Sundays through Wednesdays and 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Thursdays through Saturdays.

Fans of AMC’s hit show Breaking Bad will certainly recognize The Grove Cafe & Market. This Albuquerque eatery was featured in several episodes during the series's fifth and final season, including a pivotal scene in the finale. The Grove Cafe & Market has since become a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.

However, the television series isn’t the only thing that draws in customers, according to Yelp reviewers. Here, “farm-fresh” organic fare proves The Grove to be a local favorite lunch spot. The counter service-style restaurant offers a seasonally changing menu, and the eatery boasts a light and airy setting in which diners can enjoy their breakfast sandwiches. The Grove also serves Intelligentsia coffee, espresso, and tea all day. Stop in on the weekend to grab a fresh baked French macaroon to accompany your coffee!

The Grove Cafe & Market is open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays.
