amazing tasting menu. $100 for a reservation, but that’s the entire cost of the meal and drink pairings once you dine.

The famous pyramids outside of Mexico City. You can take a guided tour, or for a lot less money simply catch an Uber to Autobuses del Norte station. Head to Puerta 8 and buy a ticket to “Pyramides” or “Zona Arqueologico”. There are plenty of restaurants and shops in the bus station to grab food and drinks.

Attractions other

Board party boats in a narrow canal, blast music, and buy food and drink from small merchants that pull along side your boat. Defintely go with a group and bring cash for the merchants and boat fee. The best time is an hour or so before sunset: you’ll have daylight on your trip out, and the trip back will be full of brightly lit boats blasting dance music. There are spots during the trip where your boat can dock for bathroom breaks and street food.
