Guidebook for Mexico City
Food Scene
If you are not into molecular cuisine, then this is the best restaurant in Mexico. Italian cuisine with Mexican twists and local, farm-fresh ingredients that chef Eduardo García transforms with magic into the most delicious food I have ever had (really).

In the neighborhood of coffee, my vote for the best third generation coffee...pourovers and many more styles in a minimalist space where you can work or relax near cozy Rio de Janeiro square with its David fountain.

Arts & Culture
A stunning, well-curated and engaging museum with samples of Mexico's colorful crafts, pottery, traditional clothing, masks, artistry and more. Truly well done and not yet well-known. Mexico's best curated shop for crafts as well, if you don't have hours to explore La Ciudadela market then do your craft shopping here...

Cafe and reliable upscale but informal Mexican restaurant with the best view of the Aztec ruins downtown. Personally I enjoy this more than viewing the ruins up close.
