Mexico City

"My favorite thing in Mexico City is this guava ricotta cheese roll from Panadería Rosetta. It's been around for ages and it's just this amazing bakery. It's so freakin’ good."

Panadería Rosetta

"I really love Maximo. It’s not exactly Mexican food — there are some Mexican-inspired dishes there, but one of my favorite things that I ate there was this French onion soup version of a dip. And it came with this pastry that you dip into it. It was just so delicious."

Maximo Bistrot

"You walk in and it feels out of this world. It feels like you're in a very futuristic space — all of the books and the levels are suspended. It's just so visually and conceptually beyond any kind of library that I've been to before. It felt very contemporary, very inspiring."

Vasconcelos Library

"You have to just experience Xochimilco. There are these boat rides, and the tour starts there. On my tour, we had a guacamole-making competition, and there's endless amounts of mezcal and tequila. There were mariachi bands singing. Locals go there for parties and celebrations."

"Yu Yu is like an underground club. It's the place where all the international DJs play, and it was interesting to see a version of that in a city like Mexico."
