DescriptionThis image depicts the newly remodeled La Copita Lounge inside the Hilton Hotel at Second Street and Copper Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Several round wooden tables can be seen dotted around the back of the room. Each table has at least two chairs at it. In the background, on the far back wall, is a large mural depicting a wooded area with several houses in it. Directly under the mural are two restaurant style booths against the wall. A hat rack stands in either corner of the room. In the foreground of the image a standalone booth, a portion of a large piano, and an adobe style fireplace can all be seen. The fireplace is on the right side of the frame while the piano can be partially seen on the left. A large chile ristra hangs from the fireplace's mantle.
