Description:
This is the definitive handbook to the overlooked, offbeat, and unknown within the Duke City. “Secret Albuquerque: A Guide to the Wonderful, Weird, and Obscure” profiles the city’s best-kept restaurant secrets, most fascinating museums, and oddest works of art. It shines a light on little-known aspects of local culture and reveals the secrets behind beloved Albuquerque landmarks. You’ll discover where the Mercury Astronauts received their pre-mission physicals (even female astronauts), learn how a former brothel became a bed-and-brew, and uncover the deeds and misdeeds of a famed archaeologist.
Written by Burqueña and local author Ashley M. Biggers, Secret Albuquerque offers a new way to explore the ‘Burque. It’s your guide to uncovering hidden histories of places you thought you knew and discovering off-the-beaten-path attractions you can visit today.
