		<description><![CDATA[A cute little wine store recently opened up about a block from our apartment in Polanco. It&#8217;s called Bacus, and this is their 3rd site so far in Mexico City (other two in Del Valle and Satelite). Knowing that having a wine source so close could cause problems for both our budget + my level [...]]]></description>

I never got around to actually buying them due to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Living in the fancy-pants neighborhood of Polanco in Mexico City, we see loads of overpriced, trendy restaurants where the food tends to be sub-par. There are a few diamonds in the rough, but it is rare you can escape lunch (much less dinner) with a bill of &#60;$200 pesos at any of the see-and-be-seen joints. These are [...]]]></description>

This is part of DF&#8217;s new marketing campaign:
Mexico City:
