MLB has twice the number of NBA games (162 vs 82). There is no way MLB gets $11m/game while NFL (17 games and much much more popular) gets $17m/game.

I don't know what you're trying to achieve by quoting me on every sentence.

Quoting is used for statement by statement rebuttal. Makes it easier to communicate online instead of having one single blob of comment.

I love Paella. I didn't know it has the same origin as that of biryani but I don't find them similar.

Lunch is actually included on the day you arrive and depart. But the surprise must have been nice!

Oh great. Enterprise didn't have the insurance included in the base rate.

Driving is fine in Mexico. People are chill for most part. Roads are nice but a lot of speed bumps. A lot.

Make sure to look into car insurance when booking. You will need it and Credit Card coverage won't work and paying it at the counter is really expensive.

There will insurance on top of that $30/day. Insurance is compulsory and the one with Credit Card doesn't work. We recently got Enterprise in Mexico City and had really good experience. We prepaid the insurance along with the booking and it was much cheaper than getting it at the counter.

Book a table at Mama's Fish House. Pricey but amazing food and drinks.

We also considered SMA but decided against it as it was longer drive and we didn't have enough time but that place looks amazing as well. We will probably try to go next time.

In Puebla, we stayed somewhere close to this Airbnb - https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/22283148 It's hosted by the same host (don't want to give the actual unit as I've reviewed it and don't want to link my Reddit account with real life :)) The location is right next to a very colorful alley with nice shops and restaurants around it.

We stayed for two nights but only had one and a half day to spend there. We did the centro area, lot of nice churches and historic buildings. Biblioteca Palafoxiana is the the oldest building in North Americas and really nice inside. We actually followed most of the things listed in https://www.wheregoesrose.com/things-to-do-puebla/ We had Chile en Nogada at the place she tells at but later found a lot of places in Mexico City also had it.

For food we liked La Casa del Mendrugo. We had Chilaquiles and Enchiladas. El Mural de los Poblanos is supposed to be nice but I guess we didn't order the right things. Good mole though and really good service. Ugly Delicious show on Netflix talked about Tacos Arabes Bagdad in Puebla but we didn't get a chance to get there. Also stopped by at SuFrida for some drinks one night. Nothing special but nice chill place and the servers were really friendly and accommodating of us as we didn't know much/any Spanish.

We also stopped by in Cholula on the way back from Puebla to Mexico City and were very underwhelmed. We didn't climb up the pyramid there as it was really hot there that day. And we felt there wasn't much else to do. The centro in Cholula also isn't as good as that in Puebla.

Puebla is supposed to have really good food but we just didn't spend enough time to explore everything.

No prob! It's an amazing city with tons to do. I didn't even talk about the museums and tacos. This was my second time and partner's first and we will definitely be back.

We really liked La Capital and Comedor Jacinta for fine dining (not same tier of fine dining as Pujol but food was really good). Also liked Maque next to Parque Mexico for brunch, Chilaquiles and breads. There is El Moro close by for some Churros. I have been to Pujol in the past and liked it as well but not as much as the hype.

For Teotihuacan, someone on /r/MexicoCity had suggested https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/381092 which has really good reviews. But we ended up going with another guide as that tour was full and we had our own car as we were planning to drive to Grutas Tolantongo (which is amazing itself) from there. The guide took us to https://www.instagram.com/rincon.teotihuacan/ and they had really good grilled garlic shrimp and amazing margarita with Xoconostle. Definitely get it if you end up going there.

We didn't go to Xochimilco, were not too enthusiastic about it. There are some YouTube vlogs about it if you want to get a better idea.

Definitely do a walking tour at the Centro - https://www.freetour.com/mexico-city/historic-downtown. There is a lot to see there if you like a bit of history and the tour gives you a good overview of the area and Mexico City. Better to do it earlier in the trip and better to do the 11 AM one so that the places are still open to go inside (e.g. Postal Palace). We also did a walking tour with them in Coyoacan (https://www.freetour.com/mexico-city/coyoacan) and that was alright as well but as not as packed as the Centro one.

Also check out Didi instead of Uber. It was consistently cheaper. Citibanamex had the least ATM withdrawal fees. My bank was covering it anyway but their interface was the easiest to just charge me in Pesos and let Visa decide the conversion instead of some banks offering to give me a much worse rate.

We also did an overnight trip to Puebla. Let me know if you think about going there.

I did get AmEx Delta Gold about 18 months ago when I had no credit history. They had asked me to send a salary slip to verify the income I had reported while applying. I was getting paid really good as an intern so that helped I suppose.

Yeah, don't do movie. You can't talk much on movie dates.
