Travel + Leisure Selects Santa Fe as #3: Travel + Leisure, one of the world’s most eminent travel publications, announced that Santa Fe placed #3 Favorite Town In America with a population under 100,000 in their 2016 America’s Favorite Places survey. This six-month survey asked respondents to submit their favorite place and rate it in over 65 categories including affordability, notable restaurants, and public parks.
The magazine’s editors noted that “not surprisingly” the city
ranked near the top of this year’s survey for its art scene, history,
restaurants and peaceful atmosphere. They even cited excellence in margaritas
although the survey was conducted prior to the highly successful May 5 opening
of the new Santa
Fe Margarita Trail.
“Santa Fe has over 400 years of history and unique
multicultural achievement in art, food, shopping and wellness—all set against
one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world,” said Randy Randall,
Executive Director of TOURISM Santa Fe. “We’re a small town of only 80,000
people but we have over 400 restaurants, 250 galleries, 14 museums, 1.6 million
acres of National Forest and dozens of world class festivals all summer and
throughout the year. We’re honored that Travel + Leisure readers recognize that
we are called The City Different for many very good reasons.”
Summer is for Ice
Cream in Portland: Salt & Straw,
the iconic Portland-based, family-run ice cream company known for its
artisanal, chef-driven approach to an American classic, will be featuring a
series of limited edition seasonal menus at scoop shops in Portland this
summer.
The seasonal menus rotate every four weeks and showcase the
compelling stories of what is happening in the community. Starting in June,
Salt & Straw brings fermentation to the forefront, creatively using
sourdough, fish sauce and fermented honey for the flavor-packed fermentation
series.
Throughout the month, explore the nuanced flavors that can
be achieved through fermentation, beyond just salty and funky.
In July, the summer berry bounty will steal the show, from
the marionberry to the blackberry.
Lastly in August, Salt & Straw will work with the
community of local farmers and producers on a suite of flavors available in
neighborhood scoop shops from green fennel and maple to caramel corn on the
cob. Each flavor in the series features fresh, locally grown ingredients, as
well as a few from farms working to make fresh produce equitably accessible to
all.
Flavors rotate each month and are available locally at Salt
& Straw scoop shops, and are also available for national shipping.
