My personal recipe for a good vacation--
one part culture, one part party,
and a little touch of luxury.
I'm a video producer who calls New York City home,
but I'm also a culture junkie.
I love to travel to new places.
Sometimes, that's when I get my best inspiration.
So even when I have paid time off,
I'm chasing new experiences to fuel my creativity.
I'm Dolapo Sangokoya, and this is PTO.
From high-end restaurants to ancient pyramids,
Mexico City has it all.
They even have pro wrestling, but with better masks.
So I'm trying it all before I head back to the Big Apple.
That's why I'm spending this week at the St. Regis
in Mexico City, which is centrally located
in the city's cultural center.
Hello.
Hello, welcome to St. Regis, Mexico City.
Thank you.
Because of your Marriott Bonvoy Elite status,
I'm delighted to say that we have treated you to one
of our best available suites.
Wow.
Today, I'm having breakfast next to two
of Mexico City's most popular landmarks--
Diana Fountain and the Paseo de la Reforma.
This restaurant has some of the best views of both.
Oh, I spent the whole day in Jamaica Market,
and look all the beautiful flowers I'm
going to take back to my hotel.
This is a pretty bunch.
Before I head out to probably one of the best
meals of my entire life, I'm going
to make sure I'm looking and feeling my best too.
Hi.
Hello, miss, welcome to Remede Spa.
How may I assist you?
I want to do a mani and pedi.
Excellent.
Everyone raves about Mexico City's street food,
and they're not lying.
It's amazing.
But this city is also home to some of the best food
in the world, including Chef Lucho Martínez's Emilia.
I woke up before sunrise to get on a hot air balloon to go over
the Teotihuacán Pyramids.
I am so excited!
You can really feel the culture and history of Mexico City
up here.
This is how you experience it.
This Mexico City borough is considered a World Heritage
Site, because the canals we're on here
date back to the Aztecs.
Today we're on a boat, checking out
the ancient man-made islands and thoroughfares,
and a few surprises along the way.
Mexico City's nightlife is legendary.
They have some of the best nightclubs and dance parties
in the entire world.
I'm ready to party.
Thank you.
Avenida Álvaro Obregón is the epicenter of nightlife here
in Mexico City.
There's always something going on, even if you can't see it.
Now, we're about to check out one of Mexico City's most
beloved traditions.
Lucha libre is essentially Mexico's version
of professional wrestling, but here the elaborate masks
worn by the luchadores are almost as important
as the fight itself.
Believe the hype, people.
This was amazing.
Can I just stay one more week?
OK, fine.
One more day?
Miss Sangokoya, as admired Bonvoy Elite member,
you actually are eligible for late checkout.
So you don't have to leave us just yet.
All right, then!
Let the PTO continue.
Thank you for watching PTO on Thrillist.
