36 Hours in Mexico City - New York Times

MEXICO CITY seems to do no wrong lately, at least when it comes to its cultural exports. The city's indie filmmakers have exploded onto the international stage this year. Alejandro González Iñarritu's “Babel” won the Golden Globe's Best Picture award and received seven Academy Award nominations. Alfonso Cuarón's “Children of Men” is a critical blockbuster. And Guillermo del Toro's “Pan's Labyrinth” got six Oscar nods, including one for best foreign-language film. The art scene has also arrived. Curators have been snapping up Mexico City artwork in places like Basel; now they will descend on the city this April for Mexico Arte Contemporáneo, its fledging contemporary art fair. The city's notorious pollution and traffic shouldn't scare off travelers anymore. After all, something needs to fuel all that creative juice.
