Mexico · One piece
Mexico City.
A birthday trip - my friend Peter and I went to visit Dave. I got these cups for tequila shots; I haven't really used them, but I like the blue color.

Stop 01 · The food
We went to Little Lobo and had some great food. Local markets, real Mexican food and street food. There are so many trees in Mexico City.
Stop 02 · The cups
I got these for tequila shots. I haven't really used them, but I like the blue color.

My saved places
01
Blanco Colima
Restaurant · MX$1,000+
A gorgeous old mansion in Roma Norte - the design inside and out is impressive and the room alone is worth it.

02
Departamento
Bar
Multi-level club with a different vibe on every floor and some of the best cocktails in CDMX. The rooftop is the one - but check it's open before you pay the entry.
↗
03
Hanky Panky Cocktail Bar
Cocktail bar · MX$300–900
A real speakeasy - the entrance behind the door is the whole point, and it feels like a place only people who know, know. Small room, chill music, serious signature cocktails.
↗
04
Brick Hotel México City
5-star hotel
The Roma Norte base - walk everywhere. Ask the concierge for the hard-to-get reservations.
↗
05
Drip Specialty Coffee
The best cappuccino in CDMX - perfectly creamy, strong, balanced; get it frio when it's hot out. Snug Roma Norte cafe with a little seating upstairs.
↗
06
El Chorrito market
Local market with a great food court - the menu del dia starts at 55 pesos (main, rice, soup, tortilla). The fruit is enormous, and vegetarian quesadillas are no problem.

07
Marmota
A last-minute friend tip that delivered - every plate incredibly delicious. The tostada feels truly mastered; the shrimp curry and the grilled cheese are great too.
