HOW TO SPEND A DAY IN MEXICO CITY’S ROMA

The Roma neighborhood of Mexico City is a terrific place to discover regional designers, delicious cuisine, and striking artwork. It’s also unbearably packed. Fortunately, that is preventable. To avoid (the majority of) the chaos, stick to this schedule.HOW TO SPEND A DAY IN MEXICO CITY’S ROMA 

 

2 P.M. Your Caffeine Fix
Cardinal was the first shop in town to take coffee really seriously. Unlike the vibe in many cool cafés, handpoured cups aren’t served with a salty attitude. It’s a friendly neighborhood spot where you can read the paper in peace and enjoy a solid cappuccino at the same time. Calle Córdoba 132

3:00 P.M. Get Lit Here
English-speaking locals come to Under the Volcano, the city’s most celebrated English-language bookstore, to practice their skills. Discover books by obscure Latin American authors and American writers on Latin America (e.g. Kerouac’s apt B-side, Mexico City Blues). Celaya 25

4:30 P.M. A Time-Warp Museum
Housed in an art nouveau mansion, MODO—Museum of the Objective of the Object—is an odd keyhole into everyday pre-21st-century life. You’re up close with items ranging from washing machines that were used in the 1800s to funky skateboards from the 1970s. Colima 145

6:00 P.M. Lofty Libations
Run by a veteran of New York City’s Le Bernardin, Máximo Bistrot attracts a crowd of dedicated foodies, most of whom are not clued in to the new upstairs bar. Enjoy highbrow snacks (jamón ibérico), herb-driven cocktails (order any with bourbon), and kick your feet up on leather seats.
