Panadería Rosetta

"My favorite thing in Mexico City is this guava ricotta cheese roll from Panadería Rosetta. It's been around for ages and it's just this amazing bakery. It's so freakin’ good."

Maximo Bistrot

Restaurant
Av. Álvaro Obregón 65 Bis, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Maximo Bistrot

"I really love Maximo. It’s not exactly Mexican food — there are some Mexican-inspired dishes there, but one of my favorite things that I ate there was this French onion soup version of a dip. And it came with this pastry that you dip into it. It was just so delicious."

Vasconcelos Library

Library
Eje 1 Nte. S/N, Buenavista, Cuauhtémoc, 06350 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Vasconcelos Library

"You walk in and it feels out of this world. It feels like you're in a very futuristic space — all of the books and the levels are suspended. It's just so visually and conceptually beyond any kind of library that I've been to before. It felt very contemporary, very inspiring."

Xochimilco

Neighborhood
San Lorenzo Atemoaya, 16090 Mexico City, CDMX, Mexico
Xochimilco

"You have to just experience Xochimilco. There are these boat rides, and the tour starts there. On my tour, we had a guacamole-making competition, and there's endless amounts of mezcal and tequila. There were mariachi bands singing. Locals go there for parties and celebrations."

Yu Yu

Club
C. Versalles 94, Juárez, Cuauhtémoc, 06600 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Yu Yu

"Yu Yu is like an underground club. It's the place where all the international DJs play, and it was interesting to see a version of that in a city like Mexico."
