First-date ideas that work well in Albuquerque:
• Coffee + a short walk (keep it 45–60 minutes so it’s easy to end on a high note).
• A bookstore browse and pick a funny title for each other.
• Mini activity date: trivia night, arcade, or a simple board-game café.
• Museum or gallery visit (you’ll never run out of things to comment on).
• A casual food stop: one shared snack + a second location if the vibe is good.
