Mackenzie and I are headed to Mexico City for the first time tomorrow. If Duolingo doesn’t make me a fluid Spanish speaker by the time I land I’m firing off a one start review in the App Store.
* GALLERIA OMR in Roma need to make a reservation.
* CASA BASALTA also in Roma. It’s a concept house with galleries, shops , cafes, etc. Explore it all (front, back, up and down). Walk along Colima for the cool shops. Eat at Rosetta.
* There a lot of Art Galleries in the same area…
FOOD
* Panaderia Rosetta for breakfast + pastries
* Contramar - Get the grilled fish with green and red sauces
* Lardo - for brunch
* La Docena
* Huset - great for dinner – make a reservation
* Buna 42 - for great coffee and good food too
* Neveria Roxy for old-school ice cream + ices
* El Cardenal for breakfast, it's supposed to be a classic
DRINKS
* Bosforo is a must for mezcal
* Gin Gin – great cocktails
* Felina – cool spot, more hidden, great cocktails
* La Clandestina
* Romita Comedor (entrance is hidden with no sign, but a door man is in front)
Elsewhere:
* On Saturday, go to San Angel for the Mercado Sabado; amazing crafts, ceramics, etc inside an old house (and there's a packed market all around it, too).
* LOS DANZANTES is a nice restaurant for lunch in Cuyaocan, visit the Mercado after and then make your way to CINATECA.
Mexico City is easily one of my favorite, if not my favorite, cities in the world. So good choice, you will have lots of fun!
I unfortunately hadn't picked up the habit of creating Google Maps of my favorite places when I visited but these are the things I remember and highly recommend:
Food
1. Maximo Bistrot
2. Contramar
3. Pujol (It's a Michelin Star restaurant so good luck on the reservation, but it's worth the price if you can manage to get a table. Compared to LA's fine dining prices is actually pretty cheap)
4. Margaritas on the rooftop of the Condesa DF hotel
Visit:
Luis Barragan House (also needs a reservation)
Soumaya Museum
The House of Frida Khalo and Diego Rivera
Jumex Museum
Unno Gallery
The flea market on Paseo De LA Reforma
Mercado Abelardo Rodriguez (houses a Diego Rivera Mural)
ART
