Mexico City Q&A

I'm looking for guanciale, a type of Italian cured pork jowl, for authentic pasta dishes like carbonara and amatriciana.

I love strolling through the mall during the Halloween and Día de Muertos seasons, it's like an entertainment in itself.

I'm looking for some specific fruits like yaca, persimonio, and chabacano. I've heard they might be available in certain markets or tianguis.

I'm a remote worker in Condesa and I'm looking for a place to buy CDs and DVDs for a friend visiting from out of town.

I'm visiting Mexico City and did some vintage shopping, but the prices were really high. I saw a vintage Metallica tee shirt for $400 USD at a store called Erre. I also visited Thoro and was impressed, but they didn't have my size in several items. Are all vintage shops in the city like this?

I'm returning to Mexico City for a week with a group of three friends in our mid-twenties. We're looking for affordable shopping options, particularly thrifting and antiques. We've already planned to visit La Lagunilla, but we're open to other recommendations for non-Sunday excursions. We're also interested in food and bar/club/venue recommendations that fit our alt/rock/indie tastes, but we're open to other genres as well. We're looking for a low-key club experience rather than a huge nightclub vibe. Additionally, we'd appreciate any suggestions for day and night activities, as we've already planned to visit the Frida Kahlo house and the Anthropology museum.
