Fare Magazine Issue 14 (Mexico City) is available now on loremnotipsum.com. Sitting atop ancient ruins and once-vast lakes, today’s Mexico City is both humming with history and hungry for change. As one of the world’s largest cities, Mexico City is a universe unto itself, where art, history, and cuisine thrive on – literally – every corner.
From the buzzing labyrinth of the Centro Histórico to the canal-lined floating farms of Xochimilco, an oasis in the city where the last vestiges of the city’s ancient agriculture still thrive. Creativity abounds in Mexico City, from high-end kitchens to homestyle fondas; from artisan workshops to the colourful public markets. We can’t wait to share this city with you through the eyes of our talented local writers, photographers, and illustrators.
Fare magazine is a publication exploring the heart of a city through its food, history, and community. Fare magazine is published bi-annually. Fare introduces its readers to a single city and lets its locals do the talking: taking you down backstreets and through forgotten histories, exploring neighborhoods and local institutions, and doing more than just taste the food on offer. The result is a portrait of city life and culture more thoughtful and nuanced than the dreamy conjurings that typify touristic material. Fare magazine is not a conventional travel guide; it is designed to excite and inspire, but also to educate, and each issue begins with a crash course in the city’s phenomena of place, and ends with a full glossary of local terms and histories referenced within.
