Casa de Cultura Jesús Reyes Heroles — Attraction in Mexico City

My impression of the cafe here--Aurelia, based on reviews--was that of a nice spot for coffee, sitting in an oasis-like garden. Some of that is true. When I visited yesterday (Aug 31, 18), around noon, it was somewhat obnoxiously loud. The music being played was half the problem. It just didn't "fit" with a cafe sitting in the middle of a very green, very lovely, very tranquil garden. My latte was "okay," but nothing more. Enchiladas were okay, too. The latte and the OJ were the same price, I think --32 pesos. The little bread bowl was good. 'Just one type of white baguette bread in it, but it was good. So, you know --- don't come here to work on your novel, or to read one. If you want to meet up with a friend (at lunch time) to sit and talk, yes. Just be prepared for a distinct contrast (!)--a lovely garden setting and then a somewhat loud, boisterous cafe with awful (IMHO) music. (Service?!? Again, okay. 'Nothing horrible,...

Coyoacán is known for being lush, tranquil, and just a great place to be, but I think that the true heart and soul of Coyoacán emanates from this place.

Caminando desde los viveros hacia la casa de Cultura Jesús Reyes Heroles , me reencontre con calles y recuerdos muy agradables, las calles siguen sin muchos cambios más no así algunas casas que han sido remozadas o transformadas en negocios y oficinas . Algunas casas , aceras y avenidas de esa zona no han sido modificados ¡desde hace 450 años¡ La casa de cultura Jesús Reyes Heroles , desde que la conozco ha sido el escaparate de eventos culturales muy importantes, si pensamos que en Coyoacán viven y coviven artistas de todo género y la casa de cultura acoge a algunos de éstos artistas , también la casa de cultura a sido semillero de estos artistas . Si Coyoacán es el corazón cultural de la CDMX y pudiera decir que del país la casa de cultura es el alma o esencia de esa cultura. Ubicada en la calle de Francisco Sosa , a unas cuantas calles del centro de coyoacan o del Jardín Hidalgo y a unas cuantas calles de la avenida universidad, les recomiendo que lleguen caminado para que "sientan" la tranquilidad que emana de sus calles , avenidas y casas . La casa de cultura JRH, normalmente tiene una gama de talleres cursos ,conferencias, presentaciones de variada índole, etx. yo espero que en breve entre en operación y reinicien las actividades. Espero les sea de utilidad esta...
