Mexico City/Zona RosaThe new city center and business district of Mexico City is the '''Zona Rosa''' and surrounding areas, like Col. Juárez, located by Insurgentes avenue between Chapultepec avenue and Reforma. This is the city's most touristic zone, for good and bad, filled with hotels, clubs, restaurants, bars, and a whole lot of people who want your money. Ignoring the people offering services, be it the promoters of strip clubs, the police offering tourist information, or the taxi drivers offering tours, is a good way to get through the area more quickly. There's very little to be gained by paying for information or services here, since Zona Rosa is easy to get around in. If you're looking for fast food chain restaurants or internet cafes, they're practically on every corner in Zona Rosa. Avoid the souvenir shops, though, typical Mexican arts and crafts are better and more cheaply bought elsewhere. ==Eat== *'''Dragón''', Hamburgo, between Niza and Copenhague (''Zona Rosa''). M-Su 11AM-10PM. Mid-priced Peking style Chinese food, semi-formal atmosphere. The Peking duck is the specialty, also try the beef in orange peel sauce. MXP150-250. *'''Zampano's''', (''Two blocks from Av. Chapultepec at Napoles Street, few steps from Londres St., Col. Juárez''), M-Sa. Owned by expats from the US and Australia (a bald one), run by girls usually , this is an excellent and cheap (but not too much) pizza place. The clientele is a mix of expatriates and Mexicans. Try the mariposa salad or the mexigarita pizza (a bit hot black sauce and tomatos), then the Ruca Suprema (with everything) or the Ary's Pollito (chicken, corn, and avocado). Beer is 2 for one in happy hour, Ah! wine is good(drink by the glass) but do not ask for delivery -- they do not like it and treat your pizza bad -- cash only the card reader is usually not working well. The music is cool and get inside when it is cold or raining, the oven gives a nice warmth. MXP60-140.  ==Drink== *'''Bar Milan''', Calle Milan (''Corner with General Prim, a few blocks from the corner of Insurgentes and Reforma, Col. Juárez''), We-Sa 6PM-3AM. Popular with artists, movie people, journalists, and expatriates, Bar Milan has a very relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere. It has a tendency to get overcrowded, however. Plays electronic music and rock We-Th, more towards Spanish language rock and Latin music Fr-Sa. The mojito is the specialty cocktail. MXP60-300 (''cash needs to be changed into "milagros", the in-bar currency, before use, bartenders and waiters don't accept cash. Larger-denomination milagro bills can be changed back when leaving''). *'''El Colmillo''', Calle Versailles (''Corner with General Prim, Col. Juárez''), We-Sa 11PM-6AM. Run by British expatriates, this is one of the best electronic music clubs in the city. Relatively large dancefloor and lots of places to sit downstairs, lounge upstairs. Theme nights, upstairs often plays hip hop, reggae, funk, downstairs tends to be psychedelic trance or house. Often very few people before 1AM or so. MXP80-120 entrance (''depends on if you want just downstairs or also the lounge, occasionally more on special nights and with international DJs''), MXP100-300 drinks. {{stub}} First page | Prev | Next | Last page |
