Misc Spending
All Is One Tattoo
Delano, King of Punk Rock Poster Art, will mark you so pretty you’ll forget you ever wanted into Heaven. And with his staff of friendly, seasoned pros, it’s hard to imagine a bad experience in here. Clean, hygenic and well-lit, his shop invites.
Antiques & Things
Excellent medium-sized mall with that elusive balance of stuff that’s not too junky, but also not too precious. Awesome bargain treasures are sprinkled throughout, as are seriously nice, not-cheap yet-reasonable furniture and other pieces.
Chase Hardware
Could these guys be any sweeter? EVERY TIME, attentive, helpful and encouraging. Adam once had to pick up an assortment of oddball screws once for work, some of which he couldn’t describe. He was in and out with everything he needed by the time he would’ve walked to the screws aisle in Home Depot.
Clark's Pet Emporium
With two locations in town, Clark’s is the place for exotic fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds, not to mention terrariums and aquariums to house them. It’s the local, home-grown equivalent of the larger chains that stock small animals and any kind of pet food under the sun, with employees who really do care about animals.
Classic Century Square
Three huge floors with hundreds of booths and thousands of tchotchkes, furniture items and thingamabobs. Luka’s Funky Stuff (third floor) always has treasures waiting for discovery.
Gardener's Guild
Not your grandma’s gardening getup. Window boxes to hydroponics, and an earth-work networking mecca, let The Guild guide you to all eco-friendly, worm-loving local events.
Gizmo Store
Surprisingly good bargains on army-supply & vintage fashions in a space that seems far larger inside than out. Serving the Albuquerque area for 63 years. The Gizmo Store, a family owned and operated retail outlet with a longtime presence in downtown Albuquerque, was founded in 1947 by three World War II veterans.
Knockouts
We mean, you’re drunk, and/or it’s Tuesday afternoon, and it’s right there in front of you.
Koa Nalu Surf Shop
Dressed like a Hawaiian surf shop, but noticeably lacking boards. Longboarder? They got you in most cases. The staff is knowledgeable and will help you perfect your setup.
Leno’s Smokeshop
Usually we’re pretty down for higher taxes to pay for school improvements, new parks, community centers and such. But FUCK the higher cigarette tax, FUCK paying $6/pack at the Chevron, FUCK the people who tell you what you already know about smoking, and FUCK the politicians who raised the prices.
Lucky Paws Pet Adoption Center
Quite possibly the only reason anyone on the Guide staff would send you to the mall, Lucky Paws is the City of Albuquerque’s first “municipal retail adoption center.” If you’re looking for a new best friend, this is your joint.
Masks y Más
Just saying the name gets us giddy. Bursting with forget-ordinary desirables, Kiko and his skeleton (get it?) crew stock gorgeous Mexican folk art, genuinely clever t-shirts, luchador masks, hand-carved crosses, stickers, and commissions by local artists.
