Monterrey Cathedral
Catedral Metropolitana de Nuestra Señora de Monterrey
Monterrey's cathedral is one of the few colonial-style landmarks in the city. Younger and less elaborate than the cathedrals of Central Mexican cities, it is nonetheless a beautiful church worth seeking out, especially for a Sunday mass.

Palacio Municipal
City Hall
Sunday mornings at 11am and Thursday evenings at 18:30 the courtyard atrium of Monterrey's City Hall transforms into a spacious dance floor. The city provides an orchestra and the public is invited to come dance to big band sounds. While there, you can gaze up at the multi-level series of murals representing Monterrey's ever-changing political environment, with colonial imperialists on the lowest tier, the Mexican War of Independence on the second level up, and more recent events along the third level.

El Rey del Cabrito
One of the most famous restaurants in all of Northern Mexico, serving authentic regional cuisine, especially cabrito al pastor but there are options like steak arrachera for those who don't want to eat goat.

Ianilli's
Classic Italian cuisine served in a colonial era building. Classy dining room with rough stone walls, old tile floors and rustic beam ceilings. Oddly enough, they have a life-size sculpture of a horse in the middle of the dining room with a lamp sticking out of its head. Some things are too weird to be made up.
