Tyler Henry
Chef, Mexico City
Tyler Henry will travel for spice. Born in DC, he’s lived and worked in foodie meccas across the world such as NYC, New Orleans, Peru and now, Mexico City. Here’s his take on the magical ciudad. “Mexico city is this chaotic urban sprawl of street food, bright colours and bustling culture. I came down here to cook for a few months, and ended up moving here after falling in love with the food, art, people, and city. For me the the coolest neighbourhood in CDMX is Roma Norte, it’s the soul of the creative part of the city. The best restaurants and bars of the city are here, and it’s a lovely place to stay as a visitor. Juarez is a bordering hood I spend a lot of time in – its had a recent upswing in cafes, bars, restaurants and general feel and a lot of the creative happenings of the city are here. When it comes to getting around the city, the best way for me is by bike. I highly encourage renting one or using the public shared bike system.When it comes to eating – do not miss the street food here! Just be a bit careful where you stop. As a general rule of thumb only go places where there are plenty of locals of all ages and types enjoying the food."
