A First-Timer’s Guide to Mexico City’s Iconic Anthropology Museum

A First-Timer’s Guide to Mexico City’s Iconic Anthropology Museum

The Anthropology Museum in Mexico City is an absolute icon for presenting Mexico’s prehistoric and ancient history. This place is massive, and you must visit when you are traveling in Mexico City. It’s easily one of the most comprehensive museums of human history of the area I have ever been to, and following are my tips for enjoying it. First, this place is huge. There are two floors of exhibits in an absolutely massive building on the northern side of…

Eleven Madison Park Vegan Tasting Review: Inside NYC’s Three-Star Michelin Icon

Eleven Madison Park Vegan Tasting Review: Inside NYC’s Three-Star Michelin Icon

On a recent trip to New York, and after our impeccable mostly vegetarian meal at Arpege in Paris last year (Arpege has since gone full vegan), I knew I had to try three-starred Michelin Eleven Madison Park’s vegan tasting menu. They have since added meat back into their menu, but vegan cooking is something that I would rarely attempt, and so it’s always extra special for me to go out to a place that is doing things that I could…

We recently were in Las Vegas at the beginning of September, 2025, with our two oldest who had both turned 21 in the last few years for their big birthday trip.

I purchased tickets about a month in advance, and they were not cheap. For the 200 level, just off to…

Guide to Visiting Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City: Tickets, History, and Views

There are about a thousand museums in Mexico City to visit, and it’s really tough to narrow down where to go, especially if your time is limited. Typically, I would recommend focusing on places near where you’re staying. The first time we came to this incredible city, we stayed in the historic center, so we walked around the Zocalo, the Cathedral, and other landmarks within this area. We loved our tour through WithLocals, and I would highly recommend it! This…

Why Netflix’s Masala y Maiz in Mexico City Fails Spectacularly as a Fine Dining Experience

Why Netflix’s Masala y Maiz in Mexico City Fails Spectacularly as a Fine Dining Experience

I was so excited to try Masala Y Maiz for my birthday dinner in Mexico City this August. The chefs were featured in Netflix’s documentary series Chef’s Table, and I was excited to try their fusion food. The story of overcoming corruption and graft in CDMX was inspiring, and I was feeling good about supporting their business. Unfortunately, our experience here was extraordinarily disappointing. While it is clear that the chef-owners of MyM care deeply about the wellbeing of their…
