Several of the world´s top restaurants, including Michelin-rated hotspots, are located in Mexico City and offer modern versions of traditional dishes. Obviously, "Mexican food" is a popular restaurant type, but you might be surprised by the variety of regional cuisines available in Mexico City restaurants. From tacos eaten standing on the sidewalk to elegant 12 course meals in chic venues, the options are endless.
Global flavors are also widely available, with Italian and Brazilian restaurants being very popular. Happily, the growing Korean community in the city is widening the offering of Asian food. Recently, Mexico City has joined the "pop up" or "hidden" restaurant trend, and growing numbers of savvy foodies are enjoying meals prepared by world-renowned chefs in private homes, hacienda courtyards, and "one-night-only" secret venues. If you come to Mexico City, come hungry!

What's the dress code in Granada, Nicaragua? What clothes do they wear in Granada, Nicaragua?
Carolyn Membreño - León Travel Bureau
The dress code in most areas of Nicaragua is to wear cool clothing because it is warm here. However, if you go to the northern areas of Nicaragua like in Estelí, which is in the mountains, where the coffee grows, there are times when you have to wear gloves because it gets chilly up there.
In most parts of the country of Nicaragua, we get “Bahamas Beach weather”; hot and humid. You can wear whatever you feel comfortable with, such as slacks, t-shirts, or...

In most parts of the country of Nicaragua, we get “Bahamas Beach weather”; hot and humid. You can wear whatever you feel comfortable with, such as slacks, t-shirts, or whatever you would wear if you were on the streets of Miami or in Los Angeles.
Leon is one of the hotter departments in the country of Nicaragua. The humidity here is also very high so it is probably best to wear more cotton clothes.
If it is very festive here in Nicaragua. There are parties everywhere you go so there is always an opportunity to dress up.

If we compare the cost of food in the US and in Boquete, the cost for food in Boquete may be 50% less than what the people pay in the US. For example, fruits and vegetables cost less because these items are locally grown in Boquete. Meat is a little expensive in the US because of the weather and because they are grain-fed, as opposed to grass-fed cattle in Boquete, which increases the cost of meat in the US.

You would get fruits and vegetables at the market. For ten bananas it's 50 cents or a $1 Belize for ten bananas. A hundred oranges is about $4. The price of vegetables varies. Sometimes you can get a pound of cilantro for 50 cents but sometimes it's $2.50. The price of vegetables varies depending on the season. A ten pound watermelon is about $2.50. Apples are not grown in Belize so they're a little more expensive. They're about 50 cents each. Grapes are about $3.50 per pound.
Chicken is cheap at around like 60 cents a pound. Beef and pork would be about $2 a pound. We also have locally produced cheese like mozzarella, pepper jack, and cheddar and they're inexpensive. Cheese costs about $3 per block.
Because the minimum wage is very low in Belize, the cost of living is cheaper here. My food budget is about 50% less than my food budget in the US. I went to Chipolte in the US and it's no cheaper than $6 for a plate, compared to here you can get about the same amount for $3, which is 50% less.
If you want imported foods, then it gets expensive. If you buy the domestically produced food, you're going to pay about half but if you need to buy items that are imported it's going to cost you quite a bit more. It may be the same price as in the US or maybe even a little bit more.
