Igsoy - I lived in Mexico City for 2 years and still go down there for work about once a quarter. I agree its a great place, and if it were less polluted it would be very high on my list of places to retire. (while the pollution is not as bad as stories in the US press suggest, it did start to effect me after a year or so)

Where did you stay? Polanco I assume?

I stay in Polanco now when I go for work (at the W, which is a fabulous hotel) but usually stay in La Condesa when I go down for fun.

Speaking of the W - staying there will change a lot of people's perception of Mexico City. The hotel itself is a mecca of design, the crowd at the bar as sophisticated as any you'd see in NY, and across the street is a Bentley dealership.
