Napoles is a nice area as well, a bit under-restauranted, but with a better locals-vs-extranjeros ratio.<br /><br />When is your next visit? I'm flying to DF this Friday! I'll be going to Cuba from there at some point, but will be in CDMX for at least two weeks!<br /><br />-ScottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005183909843018870.post-23817744227406504582017-02-13T08:45:19.577-05:002017-02-13T08:45:19.577-05:00Yes, I noticed that chains predominate, especially...Yes, I noticed that chains predominate, especially around the World Trade Center. However, if you move a few blocks away, Google Maps show lots of independent restaurants (although I don't know if they are of the quality of those found in Condesa and Roma Norte). Since the new apartment has a large, well-equipped kitchen, I don't intend to eat out every night!<br />Saludos,<br />BillRetired Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697897155105288077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005183909843018870.post-4460469737241229972017-02-11T12:04:00.844-05:002017-02-11T12:04:00.844-05:00Napoles is a bit more corporate chain-type places ...Napoles is a bit more corporate chain-type places than in Condesa, but there have got to be lots of nice little places too.

I checked Google Maps and there are a couple that are moderately priced.
