In general, Albuquerque is pretty non-descript, but Central Ave especially in the University of New Mexico is hippy-friendly. The hippy hangout is Winning's coffee shop. The Peace and Justice is located nearby and has all the local info for events. La Montanita co-op, Peacecraft, Stella Blue (dead-head music club), The Guild Theater, a few head shops, bike shops, the big weekend flea market, music stores, alternative video (Alphaville), and Buffalo Exchange (kinda pricy for a thrift-store), are all right on Cental. The downtown and University scenes are also right off Central.

My Score: 
Comment: Winnings has good food, good coffee and a fairly chill/pleasant atmosphere. My favorite aspect of Winnings is that a small used bookseller comes in 3 times/week (Bradley''s Books). Bradley is a great guy with a great love of books, great selection, and great prices.
I''m giving Winnings only a 4 out of 10 rating. The problem lies in that it takes way too long to get your order, the staff is not friendly. They''re rude and and don''t seem to care about customer service. It also bugs me that they spend an extraordinary amount of time delivering orders to tables. Their system is that when you order, they jot down a vague description along the lines of "blue shirt" of you so that they can find you when your food is ready. I assume the idea is to create the illusion that they really pay attention to their customers and know who everybody is. In reality, they spend a lot of time asking everyone in the restaurant in a blue shirt if they ordered the soup.

Comment: It seems to me that every time I go back to visit my home of Albuquerque it gets more beautiful each time. Of all the places i have lived I''ve never seen a sky like New Mexico,the sunset seems to swallow you''re entire human existence.

My Score:
Comment: The Frontier Restaurant located on Central right across from the campus is a place for great coffee and their famous cinnamon roll. Breakfast at any time (best with green chile) and a spectrum of clientele from bums, students, families, businessmen, to, yes, HIPPIES! Get from quinching that munchie craze and people watching.
