Restaurants in Truth or Consequences

Wandering in T or C

Truth or Consequences has become a bit of an art hot spot recently, with many artists moving here to enjoy the temperate climate and low cost of living. As a result, many galleries have opened up. Unfortunately, they seem to close just as quickly. So rather than give you a list that will surely change by press time, I recommend you check out www.torcart.com, the website for the Downtown Gallery District Association. The site provides a map of its members' locations and dates for their monthly art hop, when they hold receptions into the evening.

While you're out wandering, if you need a little energy, head to Little Sprout, 400 N. Broadway (tel. 575/894-4114) to get a health fix. This cafe serves coffee, a broad range of freshly squeezed juices and smoothies, as well as sandwiches and baked goods. A favorite is the roast chicken paninni, with mozzarella, roasted red peppers, basil leaves, and pesto on a ciabatta bun. The cafe is open Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm, and Sunday 8am to 4:30pm.
