Twice Bitten

Two based-on-the-best-selling-novel vampire movies—one stars adults but is aimed at 12-year-olds, the other stars 12-year-olds but is aimed at adults—have arrived simultaneously. Good news for those who want nothing more than a sip of somebody’s blood.

Sound & Fury

CD Review: Sole

Anticon Records founder Tim Holland, aka Sole, is an unstoppable wrecking ball of politically charged energy. His stream-of-consciousness lyrical style has a tendency to deconstruct common hip-hop themes until they are just ashes on the mic.

Hot Buttered Love

If buttering up is what you have in mind, here’s a thought: use butter. Everyone likes olive oil, and for daily cooking many of us turn to it most often. But this is about butter and the particular fruits of its labor: beurre noisette, caramel, hollandaise. Bread and butter is the ultimate pairing, like Fred and Ginger, pretzels and mustard, gin and tonic.

Terra Nova

There is a half an hour window when the molten coral sunset bathes the bar and dining room of Terra in a burnished copper glow. Here, at Encantado, the latest jewel in a modest lineup of Auberge Resorts’ inimitable eye candy, aerodynamic meets organic in the most archetypal and ironic embodiment of the contemporary Santa Fe psyche—and perhaps its most captivating.

California Pastrami & More

This portable restaurant serves great pastrami, hot dogs and burgers until late at night.

Tune-Up Café

Though the stucco is now a dusky cocoa and the interior is brighter (and finally, clean), the ultimate tune-up to jump-start neighborhood legend Dave's Not Here has to be tasted, not seen.

The Bar at Rio Chama

If you're looking for Santa Fe in a bottle, look no farther than the bar at Rio Chama. Here is the town's most symptomatic restaurant venue: a place for good, strong drinks, the half-baked study of demographic trends and the scandals of their sometimes-sauced ambassadors.

Applebee's

Hearty American food, plus cool stuff on the walls. Bonus!
