Can't decide whether to take in a movie or a show? You can have both when you make La Cantina at Casa Sena part of your evening plans. The waitstaff doubles as performers of musical comedy, so not only do they serve up favorites like excellent Southwestern or New Mexican entrees, there's also a generous helping of Broadway-styled, nightlife entertainment to enjoy, as well.

Santa Fe's the Palace of the Governors is a museum truly built on history. The building was constructed in 1619 by Governor Pedro de Peralta and it stands as the oldest continuously used public building in the United States. Revisit the Spanish colonial period or the Mexican American War when you view the stunning collection of over 17,000 objects that are housed in this dramatic and interesting venue.

The Plaza was once considered the "Central Park" of the city many years ago. Today, this beautiful area with its inviting trees, grass, benches and monuments is still a vital hub of activity. The Plaza is the core of old Santa Fe as it features several attractions, restaurants and shops in the plaza and in the surrounding streets. This site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is usually the site for many of the city's high-profile events.
