Raises a toast to the passion behind Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta!
But beginning next month, with their October Issue, after 22 years, with the same (print), format, Local Flavor Magazine, Northern New Mexico’s premier culinary and cultural arts magazine, is excited to announce it’s undergoing a transformation, with a new size and 30 percent heavier paper stock.
“Our advertisers and our readers are going to love the new convenient keeper size (at 10.375 x 11 inches), the more urbane graphic design, and the bright colors due to the richer paper stock,” says Patty Karlovitz, the magazine’s editor and co-publisher with her husband Peter.
“We’ve worked incredibly hard to remain vital to the regional businesses that depend on our publication for promotion, and to our readers who value independent thinking, great writing, and gorgeous photography.” Says Patty. “Local Flavor Magazine has always been fiercely independent and as unique as the passionate people it covers. We’re honored to continue to hold that space with in-depth stories rendered in beautiful writing and evocative photography for another generation.”
The print copy of Local Flavor will continue to be distributed at 550 locations across Santa Fe, Taos, Los Alamos and Albuquerque where you’ll find the September Issue on the stands now!
