The restaurant at the Mesón Sacristía de la Compañía (6 sur No. 304 Callejón de los Sapos; 52-222-232-4513; www.mexiclasstiquehotels.com) offers cooking class packages (www.epiculinary.com) with its sister hotel, the Mesón Sacristía de Capuchinas.
Boutique fitness is "not just a workout, it's a lifestyle," said Charity Gonzalez, the founder of the Chicago-based Urbanfitclubs.com, which offers class packages across a selection of studios.
"These gyms are expensive, but they're a cheaper way of having a personal trainer all the time," said Neda Talebian Funk, a veteran marathon runner and a founder of FITiST, a company set up last year to satisfy New Yorkers' yen for mix-and-match workouts by offering class packages across a selection of studios.
And while ClassPass lost many of its customers to its unlimited membership when it raised prices, it also offers lower-priced class packages for those who exercise with less frequency.
After you join FITiST, you can choose from a number of plans, which are essentially different class packages targeted to help accomplish different fitness goals — they're created by an editorial board that includes experts in personal training, nutrition, anatomy, and more.
Cost: $17, with discounts available for multiple-class packages.
Your local gym is another great place to find inspiration, and it'll almost certainly be offering specials on membership fees, class packages and monthly rates during the holidays.
This was the fifth class for Leslie and Moe Elliott, two American friends who discovered the cooking-class package on the Internet.
But, for all that, McGovern lifts this to an altogether higher quality of drama, with credible rather than cartoon villainy, and Julian Rhind-Tutt, after such sterling years of radio service, proves again what a thoroughly class package he really is.
Wilson recalls his own formative experiences listening to music — punk, songs from the margins, what he calls "maverick art" — and cannot fathom how some other young person could reap similar emotional rewards from Céline's slick, middle class, packaged soundtrack of hope.
