Flicks Of The Day: Sauntering In Roma Norte.
Oct 30th, 2008 by Citizen192
I live on the border of Colonia Condesa and Roma Norte, a few blocks away from the Chapultapec metro stop. It’s an area bustling in the day and devoid of crowds at night. You can find the most amazing quesadillas drenched in Habanero sauce and dripping with the oily residuals of Oaxacan cheese at 7am. You can also find a surplus of unemployed workers rummaging down streets, ringing doorbells of strangers and pleading for work. I set off towards Roma Norte, walking along Calle Puebla until I reached Calle Cozumel because I remembered a little Cuban spot known as the Bodeguita. I veered off towards Calle Durango where I tried to enter a musical instrument shop only to have the security guard tell me I had to put my camera away and store my backpack right near the entrance of the door. Negative, vato. It’s like asking me to hand over my wad of bills to a perfect stranger for no apparent reason. Good thing I smelled some tacos de bistek (I think) down the road to distract me. Check out some pictures below.
