Park median in Avenida Álvaro Obregón

There was a well known street market of art and antiques along the median, but this was eliminated in 2012.[2] The median continues to be the site of various cultural events, including exhibitions of art, organic and natural product fairs, etc.

The avenue is a hotspot for a fast-changing scene of restaurants,[3] such as La Docena, Cocina Conchita,[4] Scimmia Legno Pizza,[5] Mónica Patiño's Delirio,[6] Bacoa, Pisto y Ahumados[7] and bars such as Limantour,[8] Félix and Departamento.[9]

Casa Lamm and the El Parián Commercial Passage are both located along the avenue.
