Try a walk in Serendra/Highstreet!

Why?

Well just cause its probably the first outdoor window shopping area here in the Philippines, kinda like the States, its breezy too! It's very upper crust though, classy shops and expensive restaurants, you won't find any Jollibee and Mcdo here that's for sure. However, Market Market is just across the street and there is plenty of shopping there too and more restaurants.

High Street

Plenty more shops, lots more. There's are more than 5 coffee places along this area, sit down, drink and chat. Want a classy dinner, try New Orleans (Great Oysters!) or the Steakhouse in the far end (Name is lost in me right now, great ribs though!). Donuts while walking? Krispe Kreme first ever is found here. Want to play games? Timezone, a great date place too! Go into the shops here, try somethings and laugh about them. Relax and have a good time about the day, only here in this outdoorsy place :)

How Much?

Shouldn't Cost you more than 1500 for nice meal anyways, but if your budget isn't that high, eat in Market Market where there are affordable yet yummy meals.

What to do after?

• Go to Market Market for a movie
• After a long walk, sit down and grab something to eat
• If it's a saturday or sunday night, sit on the grass, plenty of people do
