I had already been standing in the Zócalo for four hours on Tuesday. It was pouring rain, lightning was striking nearby and I was running on less than five hours of sleep without a drop of caffeine.  Hundreds of thousands of rowdy Mexico fans surrounded me as we waited for El Tri’s Round of 32 bout against Ecuador to begin. Unfortunately, the storm caused the game to be delayed another hour, much to the dismay of the attendees at the FIFA Fan Festival. At this point I was almost ready to leave. The day had started at 6:15 in the…

In the summer of 2013, Luca Ferrari was sitting in the deserted offices of Evertale, the collapsed start-up he and two university friends had founded, searching for a name for their next venture. Then colleague Matteo Danieli walked in with an unlikely suggestion inspired by cult classic The Matrix.“He had watched the movie the night prior, and he’s like: why don’t we call it Bending Spoons,” said Ferrari, referring to the central idea of the film that the mind can bend the apparent rules of reality. “We thought it actually captures some of the principles we find inspiring and believing that your…

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s slain supreme leader, had seemed immovable for decades, a man whose authority had become so deeply woven into Iran’s political and religious life that imagining the country without him felt almost impossible.Now Tehran — the capital from which he ruled, where he was killed and which had shaped his life — is the center of his final journey, filled with mourners for funeral ceremonies taking place across several days, which are part farewell, part spectacle and part turning point.In the days leading up to the first public mourning, the city changed.

In a likely never-before-seen combo, it holds the world’s largest collection of publicly viewable toys — the museum claims they have over one…

Tucked in the mountains of Malinalco, just past the Morelos border, is a gastronomic experience unlike anything I’ve experienced.  There’s no signpost on the road. The gate’s wooden, hand-hewn and weathered by the sun. Beyond it, up a dirt track, lies a vegetable garden, featuring what could be Mexico’s best produce. Past that, a traditional smoke kitchen built into nature hosts chefs from around the world.  There’s no signpost to guide visitors to Rancho Tehuan, just the increasing reputation the property is earning for providing produce to Mexico’s best restaurants. (Logan J. Gardner) Among them, Rancho Tehuan has become an…
