About the Author
Julie Doherty Meade grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and spent her childhood hiking, camping, and traveling throughout the Golden State. After graduating from college, she took her first trip to Mexico, where she was immediately drawn to the country’s warm people and fascinating culture. The following year, Julie returned to Mexico and decided to extend her stay indefinitely.
For almost ten years, Julie lived, worked, and traveled throughout Mexico. She saw Zapatista leader Subcomandante Marcos speak to a crowd in San Cristóbal de las Casas, helped run a fine-art gallery in San Miguel de Allende, and taught English to five-year-olds in Mexico City. During her years in the capital, she was schooled in advanced Mexican slang, developed a strong affinity for early-morning café con leche in old Chinese coffee shops, and spent hours seeking out the best bookstores, most interesting architecture, and tastiest bites in the city’s diverse neighborhoods.
Julie currently lives in Brooklyn with her husband, Arturo, her son, Mariano, and her Chihuahua, Tequila. She writes and copyedits for several New York publications and visits Mexico every chance she gets. Julie is also the author of Moon San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato & the Bajío and Moon Living Abroad in Mexico.

If you are familiar with Lonely Planet travel guides, this one on Mexico City follows a similar format. Consequently, it contains useful text mainly rather than lots of pictures as you find in DK Eyewitness Travel guides. Since the author had lived in Mexico City for many years, she has first-hand experience of the city from her residence there. The guide includes detailed descriptions, maps, attractions, restaurants, hotels, shopping, museums, galleries and the like. Its coverage is comprehensive, thorough, well written and especially helpful to travelers visiting for the first time. The size is convenient for carrying with you for reference in the course of sightseeing. At the time of my writing this review, it is likely the most up-to-date and exhaustive of the guides to Mexico City currently available. Worth the price and reading before you go.

Visiting Mexico city for a couple of days, this book has proved to be a good guide in steering me through almost everything I wanted to do.
Few caveats that you can just get online - Download the Metro & Metro Bus pdf on your phone. There are no maps available at stations. Other than that, this guide is a gem.
Have fun!
