The restaurants and nightlife are fabulous, we actually loved our time so much that we are going back for my birthday this December.
Pay attention to everything, like in any other city, and try to use either hotel cars or cabs called by restaurants or bars, but to be honest, I felt safer there than in many US cities. Truly a fantastic place!!
Just returned from four days in Mexico City. Traveled alone and felt perfectly safe everywhere I went. Stayed in both downtown at the Sheraton Centrico and just off the Reforma at Sheraton Maria Isabella. Just watch your back as you would in any large city and you'll be perfectly safe. Would recommend a car service to and from the airport just because it's such a zoo there.
