Around our neighborhood...Tizapan and San Angel

The life style here in San Angel Tizapan in the southern part of Mexico City is great.  We adore our 2-bed, 2-bath apartment and the building (where we only have 4 neighbors) and our busy street.  Just outside our front door, is a fresh OJ stand (one cup is only 10 pesos = 80 cents).  To the other side, is an HSBC and a coffee shop. Across the street is a taxi stand (critical to traveling efficiently and safely through out the city) and fresh pastry and bread shop. Also less than 2 minutes away walking is our gym and the Tizapan Market which offers fresh flowers, fruits, veggies, poultry and other staples. A 5 minute walk up Frontera and we are at our favorite local Italian restaurant, owned by Enrique, whose grandparents were from Italy. At Di Buccardo,we always eat 2x1 homemade wood-fired pizzas (which costs us 90-130 pesos or roughly $8-10).  Sorry Sorriso, we have a new fav!

A short 15-20 minute walk away is the San Jacinto Market, where each Saturday you can find local artists selling their paintings and sculptures, as well as a multitude of handcrafts from all over Mexico. There are many great brunch places here overlooking the plaza.
