Reforma, Zona Rosa, Condesa, Roma and Polanco
West of the Alameda and Revolution monument the tenor of the
city changes, particularly along the grand avenue of Reforma
, lined by tall buildings, including Mexico's stock exchange. South
of here is the tight knot of streets that make up the Zona
Rosa , one of the city's densest concentrations of hotels,
restaurants and shops. The residential districts of Condesa
and Roma warrant attention for their numerous small-time art
galleries and particularly for the Condesa's restaurant district.
The Paseo de la Reforma runs direct to Chapultepec Park, on the
north edge of which lies Polanco , home to wealthy
socialites and the beautiful youth.
