Mexico City is Paradise!

Mexico City: one of the best cities for living, street photography, travel, food, coffee, chocolate, meat, dessert, fancy restaurants, street food/tacos, affordable, bread, and more.

Roma Norte: for living (get your daily bread at Rosetta, or a great espresso at ‘Alma Negra’)

Condesa: for hanging out/partying/coffee (Blend Station)

Polanco: for fancy food (Dolce Patria) and the best Cochinita Pibil (El Turix– order the ‘panucho’– deep-fried taco).

Ideal for digital nomads
