Speaking of New Mexico, do any of you know where the send-off party/alumni meet at the end of the summer will be held?
I live in Albuquerque and I'll be sophomore at Duke this year. I was the only entering freshman at the event last year but I know of at least 2 kids in 2013 who I am sure would benefit from the chance to talk to a bunch of alumni
In response to the original question, I would recommend Sadie's Restaurant in downtown Albuquerque. Also, a google search for "Albuquerque old town" will come up with information on a nice little area that hasn't been tainted by the likes of the Wal-Marts and Burger Kings of the world. Enjoy your stay!
