Dinner at Vera Cruz Through a Philadelphia Correspondent
A Times correspondent describes Vera Cruz hotels as similar in quality and notes a cramped 20 by 20 foot room with three beds. He recalls Mexican butter, snail dishes, heavy cheese, rough brick floors, a hidden sluice in the dining room, yellow fever in the streets, and bartering for cigars with expatriate humor. The piece also maligns sewerage, crosswalk design, and crow scavengers atop the cathedral, with a $5 fine for killing one.
