Darcie Imbert's guide encourages exploring Mexico City's diverse food, art, and culture beyond popular tourist spots. Highlighting experiences such as hidden taquerias and renowned locales like Rosetta, she emphasizes the importance of local interactions. Mexican designer Fernando Laposse points out how precarious safety and earthquakes slow tourism and gentrification, preserving the city’s character. Notable architectural wonders, particularly those of Luis Barragán, are featured, suggesting that no visit is complete without engaging with both prominent and lesser-known sites. This perspective promotes exploration through spontaneity rather than strict itineraries.
Just when you think you've seen the best of Mexico City, someone will take you to their neighborhood taqueria with no name, identifiable only by the long queue snaking down the street.
But the Mexican designer Fernando Laposse explained that Mexico City has two self-releasing pressure valves that slow down the throes of tourism and gentrification: precarious safety and earthquakes, which ironically helps to preserve its true nature.
With that in mind, consider this guide a starting point to be supplemented by spontaneity.
There are the better known domestic sanctuaries - Casa Estudio Luis Barragán, Casa Ortega, Casa Gilardi, and Cuadra San Cristóbal.
