MEXICO CITY: AN OPINIONATED GUIDE FOR THE CURIOUS TRAVELER
BY JIM JOHNSTON
With photographs by Nicholas Gilman

As the largest metropolis on the planet, Mexico City is surely a place where one appreciates a guiding hand. Written by a resident who knows the city inside and out, it offers detailed walking tours of the most interesting areas and recommendations of where to stay, what to do and where to eat, from authentic market food to sophisticated Mexican cuisine. this guide fills a gap in the market: no previous travel book has described, in a personal way, how to really appreciate this city with detailed information on how to get around. While intentionally pared down, the choices of sights, hotels and restaurants will be of particular interest to the more sophisticated traveler who wants to get to know Mexican culture.

"This is the guidebook I want. Wonderfully written, airtight information, organized in the smartest possible way. I can’t imagine a better Mexico City guide for these times."

-Tony Cohan, author of Mexican Days and On Mexican Time.
