Few cities rival Mexico City when it comes to shopping that feels both deeply rooted in tradition and effortlessly cosmopolitan. Beyond its bustling avenues and storied landmarks lies a world of boutiques and ateliers that offer more than just beautiful objects. They marry artistry with refinement, each offering treasures that feel as timeless as they are distinctive.
Mexico City is a destination that could easily fill weeks of exploring. Take it from me, it's my second time visiting, and my list of places to visit is now longer than when I initially departed for my trip.
Every city has that one restaurant that people whisper about with a mix of reverence and urgency. It’s on every listicle and when brought up in conversation, “You have to go” is usually the general response. In Mexico City, that place is Máximo Bistrot. Tucked into a leafy corner of Roma Norte, it’s equal parts refined dining room and neighborhood favorite, and somehow manages to feel both important and unpretentious simultaneously.
This year travel has looked a little different for me. Rather than go on a few large international trips, I’ve focused more on “microcations” and exploring areas that are only a few hours from Nashville. Let’s rewind a few, ok, many years.
