Food Scene
This is a list of some of my favorite places around the AirBnB area (Condesa) and neighboring areas like Roma and Juárez. And if you want to go a little further, I also have recommendations for places in Polanco and Coyoacán.

Speak-easy bar scene in Mexico City is developing quite fast, and this place was one of the first ones to adopt this concept. Once you get there you'll be a bit confused on where to look for the entrance, but that's the point ;)

If you are fan of Frida's art, you should visit this museum that used to be her house. It gets very busy specially during the weekends, so you'll probably want to book the tickets in advance on-line. I recommend to be there before noon when it's less busy.
