Seafood restaurant · Roma Norte

"The dining room at Contramar is large and airy, the service is impeccable, the wine is fantastic, and during lunch, this place turns into one of the best parties we’ve ever been to. The pescado a la talla is a butterflied fish cooked with green salsa on one side and red salsa on the other and is served alongside various taco fixings, which will result in both a very pleasant DIY situation and the photo you and all your followers have been waiting for. The entirety of the seafood-focused menu is worth your time, including the tuna tostadas, but if you’re unsure about what else to order, just take a look around and see how everyone else is doing it. There’s a lot you can learn from the businessmen next to you who are eating octopus and drinking micheladas with clamato.  And if you’re reading all of this knowing full well you made not a single reservation before you arrived, don’t worry—Contramar’s sister restaurant, Entremar, also serves the famous fish tostadas, so try for a table there if the planning didn’t go quite as planned.

Parque Frida Kahlo

State park · San Mateo

"El Parque Frida Kahlo es un parque público gratuito inaugurado en 1984. Por un tiempo, no fue más que un terreno baldío utilizado para subastas de ganado. Más tarde albergó una fábrica textil. La idea de homenajear a una de las gigantes del arte mexicano surgió a principios de la década de los ochenta, precisamente cuando su reputación estaba alcanzando la fama universal. Hoy el parque no permite bicicletas ni patinetas. Como resultado, es uno de los parques más tranquilos de la zona. Aunque el Barrio de la Concepción que lo rodea puede estar animado los fines de semana, aquí es más probable que encuentres un jardín de esculturas contemplativo. Diseñado cuidadosamente, incluye un área de juegos para niños y muchos senderos para pasear."
