Walk to The Santa Fe Plaza. The 51-minute walk from the theater brings you to the historic heart of the city. Position yourself near the open areas to watch the sun dip below the horizon to the WSW.

Dine at Tomasita’s. After sunset, head here for traditional New Mexican food. It is widely considered the definitive spot for the cuisine, though be prepared for a wait as it is enormously popular.
