"Museo Franz Mayer occupies a former colonial convent and is home to its namesake patron’s vast decorative-arts collection, focused on Mexico’s viceregal and early-republican epochs. Rarely crowded, the museum’s an oasis and temple for those who swoon over blue-tile or majolica ceramics; stately, extremely heavy furnishings; or other captivating gewgaws, such as ornate silver, tapestries, painted screens, and fans, in addition to oil portraits of nabobs from every historical period. In recent years, the museum has also cultivated an edgier calendar of temporary exhibitions, juxtaposing the permanent collection against present-day design themes and topical concerns."

Tomasa Condesa

Bakery · Hipodromo de la Condesa

"Tomasa está inspirado en las mujeres orgullosamente mexicanas, que día con día se levantan de madrugada para amasar deliciosas conchas. Suaves, dulces y esponjositas, que nos remiten al México de antaño en el que preparaban su bicicleta, y ponían en su cabeza su canasto lleno de conchas y sueños. Nuestras conchas, mezcla de distintas tradiciones y sabores característicos mexicanos con un diseño moderno y vanguardista, son representadas con iconografía propia plasmada en cada una de ellas para satisfacer tu paladar."
