Shopping
El Palacio de Hierro Durango
230 Calle de DurangoThe best department store
Together with Gandhi, El Péndulo is the best chain of coffee/bookstores, or "Cafebrería" as they call themselves. They also offer concerts and performances. All of their branches have a unique atmosphere (if possible visit the beautiful Polanco branch).

A "mercado" is by far the best place to buy food (meat, fish, vegetables and fruit). This is a good alternative and is walking distance. "Mercados" usually open during the morning only nut you may find a couple of shops open during the afternoon and evening.
