    Not a bad area, fine dinning, bars, and shops perfect for the college kids. Lots of different places to go on the central stretch along with the neighborhood areas. Lots of small local businesses. There's a little bit of everything for just about everyone. I don't recommend visiting the fashion shops unless you got a lot of money to blow. Some of the shops a simple graphic t-shirt will run you $40+. The dinning is slightly cheaper depending where you go. The atmosphere is nice and calm, when the bums aren't out. Unfortunately central is a magnet for homeless people after dark, and it's such a sad sight to see. During the day it's a bit more quiet and you don't have to worry too much. I recommend Hana Teppanyaki, they have great food at a fair price! I'm not familiar with too many bars down there so I don't have any to recommend unfortunately. There's a lot to do especially by the university!

    Nice little neighborhood right up the road from the University Of NM. Lots of interesting and unique shops, boutiques, tattoo shops, piecing shops, clothing; modern, vintage and eco-friendly, a dispensary, jewelry shops, and tons of places to eat. Soup, burgers, Japanese, Chinese, Asian, fusion, pizza, tacos, the best fish n chips in town and numerous more. If your looking for something unique or local shop nob hill.

    Early morning Rise in Nob Hill!

    Spaceship UFO House

    Simply stunning, just park on the road and wander around the outside. Unique, imaginative and…read morecool. The Spaceship Ufo House, is a distinctive landmark known for its futuristic design resembling a flying saucer. This privately owned residence stands out with its circular shape and unique decor that reflects a sci-fi theme. Constructed in the 1970s, it has become a popular point of interest for visitors intrigued by its unusual architecture. We need more of this and fortunately New Mexico can deliver.

    This is an odd and unique attraction. The house does resemble a spaceship or something futuristic…read more It is a peculiar site. It is a 2 bedroom, 3 bath, 3,686 square foot home that was built in 1984 It is an actual house that is currently being lived in, so you cannot go inside and should be respectable of the occupants. You can still get a decent view of the property from the sidewalk and you will find parking right in front of the house on the street. It was the home of artist Bart Prince, who designed it and the accompanying art and not only served as his residence, but his studio too. You will also find some eclectic sculptures scattered around the grounds. This neat little house was sold in 2022 and I have seen it posted as an Air B & B recently. That would be a cool place to stay in, but I am not sure ablout living here, with all of the attention and tourist coming through. This place is a Albuquerque landmark. The abstract metal sculptures that are out front and just behind the fence are as interesting as the house. You will even see a dinosaur. If you are a road tripper, this should definitely be on you to see list if you are in Albuquerque. Anyway, as with most attractions that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, such as the Big Red Arrow, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip.

    You will find this gigantic red arrow, with its tip to the ground in a busy Whole Foods Parking…read morelot. It is an Albuquerque staple and a part of the city's culture. It could maybe use a fresh coat of paint, but it is still considerably in great shape since it has been there since 1961. Back then the shopping plaza was named Indiana Plaza. The arrow stands about 20 feet tall and looks like it was shoot into the stone base on which its sits. If the arrow does not already draw enough attention, it use to have neon lighting. However, it was too expensive to maintain so they scrapped it. Another interesting note is that in 1980, some of the plaza's tenants looked to add a few parking spots, which is premium in that location, by ripping out the arrow. The arrow was given landmark status though and it remains in it location today. There is an urban legend that the arrow ended up there by Lil' Beaver, the Indian sidekick of Red Ryder, the cowboy of TV, movie and comic strip fame, using a giant bow to shoot the arrow into an awaiting patch of soft concrete. I love the story and the hype, but I seriously doubt that it is true. I was able to pull into that same parking lot, park, get out and take a closer look. It was very easy. Anyway, as with most attractions that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, such as the space ship house or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip.
