February has arrived, the love and friendship month! A time when we get all romantic and wish to surprise our partner with different and loving plans. On the other hand, at the beginning of this month, Mexico City prepares for many significant events on contemporary art with the intent to promote Mexican artists and galleries through a series of initiatives.<\/p>\n

Here are our suggestions on what to do and where to eat during this month in CDMX, to stray away from your rutine and surprise your partner.<\/p>\n

CDMX Art Week
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

We residents of the capital wait a whole year for the arrival of Zona Maco, the most important contemporary art fair in Latin America. This year, the event will showcase more than 120 galleries from around the world, exhibiting works from 1,500 artists. In addition to this fair, there will be other simultaneous events worth attending. Two of them are outstanding: Salom Acme, holding its fifth edition, intended to showcase artists who are not yet represented by galleries; and Material Art Fair presenting 53 galleries from the 17 countries carefully chosen by a selection committee. If you are a fan of art and design, you can\u2019t miss these events in the city!<\/p>\n

Zona Maco, February 8-12 at Centro Citibanamex\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 http:\/\/zsonamaco.com\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Sal\u00f3n Acme, February 9-12 at General Prim 30, Ju\u00e1rez\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 http:\/\/www.salonacme.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Testal<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those in search of a Mexican cuisine restaurant around the historic center, Testal is an excellent option. An area intended to rescue Mexico\u2019s flavors by using only the best ingredients in their kitchen, it offers traditional dishes that impress tourists and locals alike! One of the secrets of Testal is in its tortillas, which are handmade daily, and include flavors such as guajillo peppers and spinach, a unique twist on traditional tortillas. Start your meal with one of their aguas frescas<\/em>, our favorite is the Chaya (a plant from southeast Mexico) with pineapple. For entr\u00e9e, we suggest the shredded smoked meat, or the tacos de barrio. For the main course, their signature dish is the chicken breast with blackberry mole, the mix of mole with the blackberry\u2019s acidity is spectacular! For dessert, ask for the bakery chef to suggest a dish based on the month\u2019s suggestions. She offered us a mandarin mousse served in the shape of the fruit with a chocolate cookie crumble. This was not only beautifully presented, but the flavor was outstanding!<\/p>\n
