Lomas de Chapultepec

The Cuban-born Nina Menocal is the legendary force who has propelled the careers of many contemporary Mexican and Cuban artists and curators, among them the now legendary Felix Gonzalez-Torres, who she showed in Mexico in the early 1990's. Aside from presenting the work of established international artists like Rosa Brun and Atelier Morales, Menocal also organizes small buying trips to Cuba for serious collectors. The gallery is by appointment only.

This widespread franchise of kitschy popsicle and sorbet stands is a classic (and especially fun for kids). They experiment with plenty of fruit flavors, like maracuya, guava, mamey, walnut, and the like, though nothing beats a simple lemon popsicle.
