Aztec calendar stone, check. Mayan treasures, you bet. There is so much to see here so give yourself at least two hours to throughly explore. Personally, this is my favorite museum in the city.

La gastronomía es otra forma de contar historias. Yo cocino para contar las mías. Cedrón nace de la inspiración de distintos paisajes y sabores: el mediterráneo y sus puertos, las brasseries de las capitales culinarias y los mercados del mundo. Alejandro Fuentes, Viajero & Cocinero

You'll never run out of options for cafes in CDMX. I randomly stumbled across this one and enjoyed the atmosphere. It does get a little crowded but tons of outdoor seating options.

Hold onto your taste buds, 'cause KYU Mexico is about to blow them away. You must try the Kyutin fries and short ribs entree. I'm still thinking about this place—it's so good.
