Esta es una serie sobre la ciudad que es una y muchas a la vez. En el capítulo principal, Isaac Torres, artista, escritor y gestor cultural con estudios en urbanismo y un profundo conocimiento sobre el Defectuoso, describe los territorios que habitamos lxs chilangxs, sus puntos neurales y su evolución. Y, además, recorre las ciudades que hay dentro de la ciudad.

En la ciudad fuimos, somos y seremos. Hijes, padres, madres, progenitores, abuelxs. Vivimos todes en un encuentro de tiempos mismo del que son testigos espacios donde baile, comida, juego y amor, se convierten en motores que nos unen, y con los que superamos las diferencias.

La Ciudad de México late al ritmo de mandíbulas triturando comida, paladares degustando sabores, cucharones revolviendo ollas, carritos haciendo sonar sus vapores...

Comer a toda hora en la CDMX, Ana Paula Tovar prueba los sabores de la madrugada a la trasnoche por las calles chilangas y demuestra que en la capital de la garnacha se come rico a toda hora.

La ciudad es bebedora por excelencia: desde unas chelas hasta exquisitos cócteles, pasando por bebidas tradicionales como el mezcal, y de los dioses como el pulque, en CDMX se bebe 24/7. En este número, revisamos la historia del Tenampa, emblemático salón que nos antoja un tequila bien servido, para salir después a la plaza Garibaldi, territorio de mariachis; recorrer emblemáticas cantinas del Centro Histórico, y descubrir brebajes como el tepache o los tragos clásicos: un old fashioned, un negroni, un daikiri. También, el trago más sabroso: una cuba de ron con coca, a veces pintadita.
