What’s up /c/NewMexico. This month I’m relocating to New Mexico, in East Mountain. Any advice for a newcomer who is looking to lay down roots.

    Hey!

    By East Mountain, I imagine you mean the east side of Albuquerque?

    Number one advice is to get used to the chile. It’s on everything here, and once you get used to it, that’s a great thing.

      Yup, the area past the Air Force base heading east beyond Sandia Mountain.

      And the chiles are an added bonus. :)

        Okay, awesome!

        Nob Hill has some great eateries, such as Soo Bak and Geckos. There’s also Basil Leaf and Taj Mahal on the East side (West of where you’ll be).

        Jemez is close by, and has excellent hiking and sight-seeing. The Sandias also have some great hiking trails.

        Let me know if you need any recommendations when you get down here. Welcome to New Mexico!

          I will eat at all these places! Thanks for the recommendations.

          Aside from eateries, what behaviors make people stand out as out-of-towners. I’ll never be a true local, but I hope to soak up the culture and assimilate.
