Page 40 - WINE DINE AND TRAVEL FALL 2021 DISCOVERING SANTA FE

It took us a while to park our car. We were
almost ready to abandon our visit when we
decided to follow several cars down a side
street and into a multistory parking garage
with plenty of available spaces. A short walk
took us past the Railyard’s landmark wooden
water town and into the bustling market.
Vendors, under a long row of market tents
and awnings, were selling everything from
cheese and meats to colorful crafts and
starter plants for tomatoes and peppers.
Right away we knew this was a venue aimed
at locals, with an appeal to visitors, rather
than vice versa. We were tempted by some
unusual tomato varieties but opted instead
for a suitcase-small wreath decorated with
bright red chiles, baby ears of Indian corn,
and a crowning turquoise stone.
