Is Roma Norte the best neighborhood in Mexico City? We spent over a week staying in Roma Norte and absolutely fell in love with this magical neighborhood! We tried to eat at every (vegan friendly) cafe, have coffee at every adorable coffeeshop and pet every dog, and in this video we're showing you around town and telling you why we had such a great time staying here during our trip to CDMX.

Condesa is great too! Polanco is a bit posher, and colonia Juárez has a more artistic vibe

Hola chicos! Visit “Mercado Roma”, located in Queretaro street. Very cool place with lots of eating businesses. Check the Balmori rooftop in 139 Zacatecas st. Walk along Álvaro Obregón street. Lots of restaurants and cafes. Walk along Colima street too. Beautiful. Next to Roma is Condesa neighborhood. Tons of cafés. Go to Parque México. Lovely. And please walk Amsterdam avenue! Along the central median strip (the street is an oval and Parque México is in the middle of it). Another close lovely neighborhood is Juarez. Visit there the “Comedor Lucerna”. Very pretty place to eat with many options and with friendly people. In 51 Lucerna st. Walk around the neighborhood. Lovely. CDXM is very gay friendly. You can walk hand in hand and show your affection with no concern. I always do. Hehe. I love you guys and Im very happy you’re visiting my city. Feel free to ask for directions or I’ll gladly tour you to interesting places in the city. Hope you have a blast here. Abrazos y besos! ☺️

I first moved there in 2004 during the early years of gentrification and was shocked when I returned nearly 10 years later to see how many more restaurants, cafes, and high-end condos had opened up. It's virtually become like La Condesa, my favorite neighborhood.

Love Roma Norte. I was doing the same, constantly saying, wow! Look at that place, or let’s go in here. My first trip to Mexico City we stayed in zona rosa, right near there. Next trip we were right near the centro zocolo because we were there for Day of the dead week, and hitting lots of museums. But next trip once I’m finally there in Merida, will be Roma Norte when I jaunt to cdmx

In 2017 I stayed in Roma Norte in an Airbnb across the street from Cafe Toscano, I loved sitting at a sidewalk table with my café and sweets in the morning watching ALL THE DOGS and their humans stroll the Luis Cabrera park. I really loved Cabrera 7 restaurant on the edge of the park there (PS, I recognize that red wall mural, it brings back all the memories!!!)

@mariobruyere9169 3 жыл бұрын

Roma Norte is great, but I prefer La Condesa. Colonia Juarez and Colonia Cuauhtémoc (on opposing side of Reforma by the Angel) are also great. Polanco is posher. I also like Granada (north of Polanco, on the north side of Ejército Nacional), fairly quiet and residential on its better streets. Santa Maria la Ribera is also nice, less popular and less known among tourists and expats, also affordable. One thing about CDMX... most neighborhoods have a theme for their streets: Juarez is European cities, Cuauhtémoc is rivers, Polanco is writers and philosophers, Granada is lakes. It makes it very helpful to determine in which colonia you find yourself.

@TravelWTravis 3 жыл бұрын

Amazing! We didn't know that about the street names - so cool!

@mariobruyere9169 3 жыл бұрын

@@TravelWTravis So! If you are in Cuauhtémoc, the street names will be Rio Lerma, Rio Niles, Rio Rhino, Rio Danubio, etc. And the north-south, directions east-west directions based on the flow of the rivers (in CDMX there is logic in urban planning). In colonia Juarez, the street names will be Hamburgo, Bruselas, Amberes (Antwerp). So if you ever wonder what side of Reforma Avenue you are on, the street names will indicate it by their theme.

@mariobruyere9169 3 жыл бұрын

Same concept as in Roma: east-west streets are named after Mexican states. North-south after Mexican cities. These are all little things that make CDMX a marvel in urban planning.

BTW. I was never taught those things. Simply the power of observation and good knowledge of geography.
