He presently has a show in New York City that has been highly praised by the critics. The Regional Museum of Oaxaca and the Santo Domingo Church are right next door to each other and are not to be missed. And Monte Alban is a genuine wonder. But consult your guide books or the plentiful literature you ll find around town in several languages and you won t go wrong.

Food is treated everywhere with the greatest respect.
We ate out every day for a month and never had a single unsatisfactory meal. That should tell you something. Anyone who wants to sample a range of Oaxacan specialities all at once should try Las Quince Letras where the menu is quite extensive and the service gracious. A lot of locals go there, which I take to be a good omen. If the budget is tight and vegetarian fare suits you by all means try Manantial Vegetariano where the salads are wonderful and the soups and main courses completely nourishing.
