PSA about fireworks today Oct. 28

13 Upvotes

Before we get 10 different posts asking about the fireworks I'll put it here.

October 28th Mexico City celebrates one of its biggest religious traditions with people making pilgrimage and attending the San Hipólito church near Alameda.

The celebrations, as is tradition in some areas, include fireworks and it'll probably be going on all day.

Here's a video with more info: https://youtu.be/RyGeYzgoBd4?si=nd4LxKJPYz91eoeD

Pregunta/Question Novia ha reservado el museo de Frida por el 31 Octubre. Que me maten.

• Upvotes

Hola todos,

Mi novia y yo llegaremos a Ciudad de México este Viernes y estaremos cinco días, hasta el 4 de Noviembre.

Yo quería ver mucho el desfile del Día de muertos en Zócalo, parece que la parada empieza a las 14:00, entonces, imagino que la gente se va acercando al lugar muy temprano, por la mañana seguramente.

Todavía, mi novia ha reservado Casa Azul a las 15:15 y el museo de Frida a las 18:00.

Claramente me parece que no podríamos hacer ambas cosas.

En consecuencia, estoy aquí porque querría preguntar: que deberíamos hacer? Dejar de ver el museo y poner el enfoque sobre la parada? Vale la pena?

Si vamos al museo, es posible encontrar algo más por la noche en Zócalo? Después de la visita, entonces, iríamos allí a las 7/8 por la noche.

Sabes cuánto dura la parada?

Estoy un poco confundido sobre qué hacer, no voy a mentir. No quiero molestar a alguien, pero, si pudiera recibir algunos consejos, estaría muy agradecido.

P.S: disculpame si he cometido algunos errores en español, no es mi primer idioma, pero, lo estoy aprendiendo porque me gusta mucho.

Hey Mexico City,

Maybe there is a Mexican twist to fried chicken that I am yet to discover, exciting!!

Delta is my preferred airline and I am so thrilled they will be adding this non-stop starting at the beginning of the year! The 9:30 am departure time out of Portland and 2:55 pm departure from Mexico City are perfect as well! I will definitely be taking advantage of this new route! Operated through Aeromexico.

Opinión Mexico City as a disabled traveler

179 Upvotes

We just visited CDMX for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Life hit hard when we came home so I have been meaning to make this post for a bit but just managed to get my thoughts together today.

As a disabled person who uses mobility aids, I am unfortunately used to the myriad of ways people are kinda shitty to disabled people. There is more accessible infrastructure in some places than others, but the attitudes of the locals make the most difference IMO. One of my worst trips ever was to a city in the PNW, where the infrastructure is amazing and the people were absolutely horrible.

I have never been treated as well anywhere as I was in your beautiful city. I wasn't singled out either, except when I needed information about accessible entrances and such. People just treated me like any other person. Unless you have experienced it first-hand, you might not understand what it feels like to be invisible (unless someone feels like hating you, and then you're too visible). When I started using mobility aids in my 30s I just had to get used to it. I would talk to people, they would look past me and respond to my husband. I would try to get service at a restaurant, and the servers behaved like they couldn't see me. In some places, people would go out of their way to cut me off or even drive their scooters right at me in some weird game of chicken. I have hurt myself many times when crossing the street, because the people coming the other way act like I am not there and so I have to get out of their way to cross. I am always singled out at TSA where they have literally disassembled my aids before. I could go on, but you get the idea.

That didn't happen even once in CDMX. I could go to museums, to eat, to the park, and no one cared that I was there. But I also wasn't ignored when I was trying to interact. It was a beautiful experience. The only time I got any funny looks were when I was trying to do something the hard way because that's just what I am used to, and then someone would usually step in and show me the easier access points nearby.

I can't say thank you enough.

Additionally, my father was Afro-indigenous. Visiting the National Museum of Anthropology was a very interesting experience; the way you tell the stories of indigenous histories in Mexico is so vastly different than what I am used to in the USA.

No place is perfect, and to be honest some of your "sidewalks" were more conceptual than literal (though you're honestly pulling ahead of your northern neighbor in the infrastructure game in a lot of ways). But I really appreciated the connections I was able to make with people, and everyone who was willing to have a conversation in very slow Spanish with me, and all who helped me have a week of being nothing more than another tourist. Thank you!

Gastronomía/Gastronomy New Year’s Eve 2027!

3 Upvotes

Buenos Dias! We (four of us) will be visiting CDMX over NYE for the first time- we can’t wait to experience everything the city has to offer!

We were hoping for a few suggestions on the funnest/most accessible/authentic way to ring in the new year. We are staying near La Condesa and don’t want to travel too far away.

We aren’t “party all night” people, but we enjoy unique meals and cultural events.

Muchas gracias in advance for any help or suggestions!

Hey! I am living in the city for a little while and I am looking for tennis partners. If you’re an intermediate level player, we can get together and play! I’m also willing to pay higher level players (UTR 9+) to hit with me/coach.

Also, if anyone knows public tennis courts where people regularly go and need partners, please let me know.

¡Hola a todos!
Soy brasileño y voy a viajar a Ciudad de México en diciembre. Me gusta mucho el boxeo, llevo un tiempo entrenando y me gustaría competir algún día, así que me gustaría entrenar en un buen gimnasio durante mi estancia en la ciudad.
Busco un gimnasio que, de preferencia, esté cerca de las zonas turísticas y se encuentre en una zona segura. También me interesan las clases particulares de boxeo, aunque sean un poco más caras.
¿Tienen alguna recomendación?

Ayuda/Help ¿Dónde recomiendan tomar clases de dibujo desde cero en CDMX?

2 Upvotes

¡Hola! Me gustaría empezar a tomar clases de dibujo y busco recomendaciones de escuelas o talleres donde enseñen bien desde cero.

Me interesa que haya un programa para aprender las bases y acompañamiento de los maestros: que expliquen, revisen tus ejercicios y te ayuden a entender qué corregir y cómo mejorar.

De preferencia busco algo por el sur o el Centro, aunque puedo considerar otras zonas si vale la pena. He estado viendo Atelier Mesones y ttamayo; si alguien ha tomado clases ahí, también me serviría mucho conocer su experiencia.

¿Qué lugares recomiendan? Si pueden compartir costos aproximados, tamaño de los grupos y qué tan atentos son los profesores con los principiantes, se los agradecería mucho.

First time visiting the city this Thursday to next Wednesday. Outside of the day of the dead festivities I’m wondering if there are events that happen in the city on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday that you say should not be missed ? I’m really into live music, dancing, learning about local art, and culture and being around artists/creatives/intellectuals is my kind of vibe. I’m open to your guidance thanks :))
