buen dia - hi fam, in an effort to stop exporting my confusing google maps when friends request my recs, I made this lovely lovely little guide for you, dear friend, mi amigo, if you will.
great for a long weekend or a week, it's mostly coffee, art, and food, plus my favorite pilates studio.
if you're visiting CDMX and need a place to stay, my apartment here is on Airbnb Plus and linked below as well :)
AND if you're feeling kind, 100% of tips will be donated to Yaaj Mexico, a non-profit, non-partisan and secular organization responsible for defending, promoting and protecting human rights of the LGBTI+ population in Mexico.
salud,

Chic By Accident
@drewshroyer
owned by a very cool daddy french guy, high end gorgeous one of a kind pieces, reads more like a museum and only steps from Parque Rio De Janeiro. you have to buzz up, no street markings, but worth a quick 15 minute perusal.

Restaurante Rosetta

such a classic, consistently delicious, did you even go to cdmx if you didn't go here? the pate pasta changed my inner code when i first tasted in 2021.
Not to mention the head chef, Elena Reygadas, is such a baddie, read below, then make a rez
