[quote=Anonymous]Condesa is great for wandering around in the morning, looking at the old houses that are still left, checking out the randomness of the storefronts -- bodega next to taqueria with counter seats next to upholstery shop etc.  Bring a book and park it on a bench in Parque Mexico and watch life roll by... dog walkers... kids... teen meetups... we saw a telenovela being filmed.  So many little cafes here that you will have no problem finding a spot for a latte and a pastry.

The food scene is very changeable but there are some constants.  Tacos: El Tizoncito, El Califa, El Pescadito.  Contramar still for a great meal.  Ice cream: Clemont on Citlatepetl (Hipodromo) or Neveria Roxy.  El Moro for churros -- any location but the one right on Parque Mexico, after dinner, has a family and local vibe that is nice, just to people-watch.  Near the centro, Pasteleria Ideal just for the spectacle (not the quality) of a crazily enormous bakery.  Try to catch the sunset hour at a rooftop bar on the Plaza Mayor; there are a few.

For the well-heeled but still a great vibe and more interesting touristy shopping in a lovely re-use of an old colonial mansion:  Shops at Downtown Mexico.  Casa de los Azulejos if you like decor or tilework.  The zoo is interesting if you enjoy zoos.  I wouldn't do this in most places but you have limited time so maybe consider doing the hop on/hop off bus so you can get the lay of the land and figure out where you want to return.[/quote]
