In Mexico City, markets are bursting with fruits and spices and everything is ridiculously fresh and oozes flavor. An excellent street taco can beat out a Michelin-starred restaurant almost any day. It's all part of the magic of this high-altitude urban valley. Can there be a better metropolis in the world to eat right now? I'm willing to be persuaded - but I lived in Mexico City five years longer than I intended to because of the food.

My stories, more than my novels, tend to start with a single thing from my life, some kind of puzzle or confusion, whether it be directly autobiographical or a distortion of an experience I've had.

In Mexico City, recent protests against U.S. expats and so-called "digital nomads," blamed for driving up rents and fueling gentrification, show not many people like them.

Set behind an unassuming facade in the cobbled Roma Norte neighbourhood, Ignacia Guesthouse attracts discerning travellers with an eye for design. The five guest suites are designed in a monochromatic colour scheme, ranging from an all-gold suite with plush velvet furnishings to a sleek and modern all-black hideaway with a private French-door breakfast terrace. Each room comes with a private nook to enjoy the home's central courtyard and that's where you'll find most of the action.

It will, however, leave you mentally redecorating your own home into a slice of mid-century modern Mexico City. The king-size bed (which was firm but gloriously comfortable after an arduous journey characterised by multiple delayed flights) sits atop a beautiful red woven rug I'd have liked to have taken back to New York with me; the dome-shaped bedside lamps were both vintage; and mahogany sideboards and wide wooden floorboards popped against the crisp white walls, which were punctuated by tall potted palms.

Every city would be blessed to have an array of great locals' spots like Mexico City's cantinas. The venues run the gamut in style and clientele, attracting all kinds of customers. Some are century-old gems, giving visitors a peek into the city's long culinary history. And the food, ranging from free drinking snacks to house specialties worth seeking out, goes well beyond bar bites you might find elsewhere.

Each rainy season in Mexico City seems worse than the last, and year after year it is said to have broken its own record for the amount of water falling from the sky.
