best things to do in mexico city

This is a city that should be experienced by all.  Your soul has no choice than to be filled and fullfilled when you surround yourself with all this delish culture and lush inviting green spaces.  It’s not the high altitude that’s got you buzzing, it’s Mexico City all!

In this post, 3 must-see cultural spaces and what to wear in Mexico inspirations

3 Under-the-Radar Must-Do’s in Mexico City

#1 Lago Algo

The first and favorita of the 3 must-do’s is the Lago Algo cultural space.  She’s unassumingly situated in the middle of Chapultepac Park…peacefully invoking you to come in with hammocks & swings.  We started this sensual adventure with their food & restaurant space first…the food was delicious and the space just breathtaking.  Followed by strolling through the space itself.  Get ready, simply strolling through is amazing.  Then lastly taking in the most moving & playful art exhibit, Wooh by Simon Fujiwara.  what to wear in mexico city

Style inspiration #1 for Lago Algo.  Super comfy fit, tooling around town. This trip I was feeling the red & this graphic print top is perfect for this space.  Track pants by Adidas. Base layer by Weston Wear and easily 2/3 decades old. I love these base layers too … here & here. Sneaks : Stan Smith x SuperStars mashup from Saint Alfred.

#2 Meroma

#2 of my top 3 must-do’s in Mexico City is the most delicious under the radar, Meroma in Roma Norte.  I have no words for what we ate that day.  Just prepare to have your mind blown.  The tapas with marinated blue shrimp was the best one bite known to man.  And a must-order is the Mergez Orecchiette.  I’ve also heard the fish collar is a must-order.  I have to mention, being lead to our table was a treat in itself.   So much amazing design, I could not take it all in!  Then there’s the most charming 2nd floor outdoor terrace space (where we sat!) perfect for serenades and people watching.

Style Inspiration #2 for lunch at Meroma and tooling around Roma Norte.  Rings – family gems.  Tee by Christopher Kane.  Dig this graphic tee here & this graphic sweatshirt.  Denim maxi skirt by ReFormation. I really dig this patchwork one by B Sides & this one in white too

#3 Laguna

and last, but certainly not least at #3, we have Laguna & Buna Coffee.  Similar to the other two special places, this place is as inviting, creative, productive & peaceful.  Formally a textile / yarn factory, now turned indoor/outdoor cultural space w studios, cafes & coffee shops.  The entrance is discreet with no sign, a doorbell to the right & a sign in.  Once in, it opens up into a an inspirational space for peeps to  gather to work, catch up and even engage in a game of chess :)) .  And of course, there’s a fantastic coffee spot, Buna, brewing exceptional coffee.  Laguna is in the same neighborhood as Meroma, so it’s easy to hit for an afternoon coffee pick me up.

Style Inspirtation #3 for coffee at cultural space, Laguna and roaming Roma.  Same ReFormation skirt from Meroma.  For real, I can’t get enough of it.  It’s my piece for our Netherlands trip next week.  Here’s the exact one , super super comfy.  Tee by Hiver87 and bought many moons ago while in SF.  Here’s the original by A.P.C and love this one.

Hope you all get to visit these very special places :)).  Your soul & taste buds will thank you!!
