Since you're staying near the chapultepec park, you should not miss it. There is also a historic castle right in there and of course the museum of anthopology. There is also a zoo, a botanic garden(?), a museum for children called "el papalote" which means "kite" among other things there.
If you are willing to get out of the city a bit to see some pyramids and ruins then you should go to teotihuacan. it is not a town or anything, it's just an ancient city located about 1 hour from mexico city.
Polanco can be a good place for shopping. There's probably a couple of shopping centres in there and places frequented by people who have money.
At night if you can drive thru "El Paseo de la Reforma" which is just an 12km boulevard would be cool, because there's alot of lights in that area. on one side you have the chapultepec and on the other luxury hotels, hard rock cafe, tons of embassies and consulates, banks, good architecture, goo drestaurants and of course...."the angel of independence" which is where mexican go to celebrate (eventhought they block traffic) when the national soccer team wins something.
You also good professional soccer that's still a family activity unlike in other countries where it can get violent. There's supposed to be a place like sea world somewhere but can't rememebr where.
As to place to eat, well it's extremely hard to mention places because there is so much good food in mexico.Check this sites for more info

They should give quite a bit of useful information
enjoy your trip, don't drink water from tap, don't buy food from street vendors and don't stay in your hotel.
