Avenue de Amsterdam is a street that's tree lined down the center for people and pups to walk! I felt completely safe walking around at night eating elotes and enjoying the neighborhood.
I stayed at Casa Nuevo Leon, I found it on AirBnb. My stay at Casa Nuevo Leon was perfect, the decor was charming and modern, super clean, with a very comfortable bed and enough room for yoga. They even allow pets! Maybe next time Max can come.
La Condesa is a lovely neighborhood with tons of amazing restaurants. I had one of the best meals of my life at La Capital- grilled octopus, risotto with shrimp and a mango mezcal drink. The risotto was so melty and delicious I have never had anything like that in my life. I'm completely obsessed with this place I visited twice.
Another great spot is Temporal which is more of a bar, but also really good food and of course drinks. One of the dishes I had there was crab sopes, and of course more mezcal. The night I visited, a jazz band was playing. You can find both these spots on Yelp which is how I did.
I visited the Museo Nacional de Antropologia, Palacio des Bellaes Artes, Mercado de Coyoacan but mostly wandered the streets bumping into food stalls and night markets during my visit.
What I didn't know when I decided to visit was the city was celebrating Dia de los Muertos, Day of the Dead. It was one of the coolest holiday experiences- many people on the streets, lots of candles, flowers, vigils, honoring and remembering the dead. Also lots of great and scary costumes.
I wanted to stay a little longer since some spots were closed due to the holiday but that means I'll come back another time. Thanks Mexico City! Hasta Luego!
Here's a video of my time in Mexico City.
