Where can you eat breakfast while overlooking the entire Tularosa
Basin? Where can you see funky collections of memorabilia and
eclectic art, including possibly the world's largest velvet Elvis?
Where can you sample a variety of burritos, huevos rancheros, and
chilaquiles, in addition to such delicacies as pinon scones,
Americana graburritos, a pork 'n produce omelet, and perhaps the
most mysterious: a hen grenade? We've got the answers to all these
questions Imagine having a statewide network of librarians, busily
researching the best places for you to have breakfast. Many of the
eateries we describe are housed in historic buildings, several are
located right on or very close to Historic Route 66, some have been
used in films or TV, and more than one claims to be haunted.
"Breakfast New Mexico Style" is a dining guide to over 100
librarian-endorsed restaurants from Carlsbad to Aztec and Tucumcari
to Silver City. Included are recommended reading and after
breakfast activity suggestions. In person or from your armchair,
travel to locales frequented by many of New Mexico's famous and
infamous, real and fictional characters: Smokey Bear, Billy the
Kid, Robert Goddard, Georgia O'Keeffe, Robert Oppenheimer, Jim Chee
& Joe Leaphorn, Claire Reynier, Kevin Kerney, Sasha Solomon,
and the enigmatic Ultima, to name just a few. Valerie Nye is a

her away from her native state for over ten years, but being far
from home made her fully appreciate Santa Fe's delightfully unique
breakfasts all the more. She is currently Head of Public Services
at the College of Santa Fe's Fogelson Library. Kathy Barco grew up
in Los Alamos. She has been a children's librarian with the
Albuquerque Public Library system and the youth services
