The world needs more of these thoughtful translation-taggers. Yet, “guey” looks really weird when it’s spelled “wey.” Poetic license is always implemented on the streets, but I’m not digging the spelling of this word. “Guey” would have been more profound in writing.

I didn’t start drinking coffee regularly until I began blogging professionally in New York City. Then I met my girlfriend who loves lattes (and will always defend Seattle’s variety). Christoph Niemann illustrates his love-affair for coffee via wonderful drawings. [via NY Times]

Mexico City boasts much more than Frida Khalo and Diego Rivera paintings when it comes to art. When you take aim at the country’s onslaught of conceptual connoisseurs, then you’ll find a plethora of artists dabbling in eccentricities to hold you over for years.

The world’s richest man, Carlos Slim, and baseball’s $270million man, Alex Rodriguez, were united this weekend while promoting a new sports complex “in the poor suburb of Nezahualcoyotl.” While most pundits and gossip-wranglers couple the story with Madonna’s coincidental visit to Mexico City — an obvious goldmine of gossip lore — I wonder why no [...]

If you live in and around Condesa, D.F., your daily commute will probably involve a walk by the Mercado Condesa on Avenida Michoacan and Calle Tamaulipas. Since it’s likely you’ll be inebriated, and/or too stuffed to acknowledge anything around you (too many bars and restaurants, ya know?) you might miss out on the fantastic art [...]
