Qué hacer

Browse through the dusty shelves of El Laberinto bookstore on Calle Álvaro Obregón. Look for mid-century Mexican poetry editions and old maps of the Federal District tucked away in the back corners.

Qué comer

Order a cortado and a sourdough croissant at Erre & Co on Calle Orizaba.

Entender a los mexicanos

Book hunting in old neighbourhoods is an exercise in tactile nostalgia; people here still value physical paper as proof of memory.

Para qué nos sirve en Calpulli CDMX

It reminds us that the Roma is built on stories, paper, and intellectual conversations rather than just cafes.
