When a friend recommends a bar or restaurant, you tend to agree with them to a certain extent. But when a place gets high marks from an impressive source like International Newsweek magazine touting it as one of the world's best bars, you tend to pay even more attention. Santa Fe's Dragon Room is a nightlife destination that deserves all the kudos it has amassed, as the venue is both a stylish and comfortable place to relax and have a few drinks. The bar is also associated with the Pink Adobe restaurant and that team-up makes it the city's ultimate destination for dinner, wine and cocktails.

The Museum of Contemporary Native Arts prides itself in presenting "Indian art through Indian eyes." To rightfully accomplish that mission, this museum presents a dazzling collection of artwork by artists who have attended or taught at the College of Santa Fe's Museum of Contemporary Native Arts. The resulting collection that is housed here adds up to a staggering 6,500 original pieces created by over 3,000 artists.

Santa Fe Performing Arts is a place that is constantly abuzz with entertainment from talented performers and artistic visionaries whose mission it is to continue to further the arts in Santa Fe. The group works hard to provide the community with an affordable performing arts facility with its ultimate goal being to nurture talented individuals to pursue their love of the arts. The venue also offers office space for non-profit performing arts organizations and provides a vibrant environment in which ideas can be exchanged and new artistic partnerships can be formed.

Add some sizzle to your romance when the two of you take classes at the Santa Fe School of Cooking. There's nothing like taking on a project together, and both of you will learn how to create different types of meals (that include several Mexican dishes). You'll find that spending time together creating a delicious project that you both can enjoy when it's done will create special, romantic (and sometimes humorous) moments that you will never forget.
