Just a few blocks west down Central Ave from campus, you’ll find the 66 Diner – as amazing a diner as there ever was. Named after and located on the famous old Route 66, the 66 Diner is brimming with nostalgic paraphernalia from decades gone by, with food that’s just as classic. From the iconic milkshakes that come in every variety imaginable to the usual hallmarks of an American Diner, the menu offers a wide variety of mouth-watering meals.  As a place that’s been featured on the Food Network and received Guy Fieri’s own stamp of approval for its special dish “The Pile-up”, the 66 Dinner is a popular joint well worth checking out. Some go for the shakes, some go for the amazing decor, but as close as it is to UNM and as delicious as the food is, the 66 Diner is any Lobo’s go-to.
