Mangiamo Pronto - Un Cafe Italiano


Photos & Text by C. Whitney-Ward

I've driven by this delightful bit of Italy hundreds of times and never dropped in. It took a savvy New Yorker/Santa Fean to show me the error of my ways.

Just across the street from the Inn at Loretto, this hip Italian eatery offers a sun-drenched patio oasis where you can sip a proper espresso, nibble some divine pastries, or indulge in a myriad of Italian specialties for lunch or early
evening al fresco dining.

Inside, all thoughts of Santa Fe turn Italian.






There's lots to read and you can even watch Italian cooking videos...


Place your order...everything is fresh and wonderful.

An - Art Chat - at the Inn of the Anasazi


Photography & Text by C. Whitney-Ward

 



Bobby Beals and Anthony Abbate of the BEALS & ABBATE FINE ART GALLERY on Canyon Road have come up with a dandy way to showcase their artists. They created Art Chat with the Inn of the Anasazi and this lovely partnership  works for both the artists and the Inn's guests. The Inn places an invitation to the event - held in their 'library' - on the guest's pillow and provides wine and nibbles...



And the gallery brings a featured artist - Raymond Nordwall the week I attended - and a collection of their work.






Nordwall is a member of the Pawnee tribe of Oklahoma and Red Lake Chippewa. His  passion for Indian art began at an early age - encouraged by his Mother - and he later began to study and create monotypes, becoming a full-time artist in his early twenties.





 If you'd like to receive an invitation to the next ART CHAT, contact the gallery.
