Very nice park in central Makati where there are a few restaurants and one of the few bigger green spots in Makati, though not bigger than you can always see the traffic from the park. But a nice to go to for a bit of green surroundings and piece and quiet.

Food Scene

Coffee shop around the corner with a nice ambiance and last time we were there (Feb 2017) they had free wifi, though I think that was for a testing period, they might add a charge later on.

Best place in Philippines to eat Japanese food. Its a bit hidden in a courtyard in the back of some buildings. Once you enter, it is literally like entering a small Japanese city with several restaurants in there with possibility to sit inside any of those restaurants or in the middle in the common area of all there restaurants where you can enjoy the nice ambiance of the place. One of our favorite places to eat.

At greenbelt 2 and 3 you will find plenty of bars and restaurants that are open at night for drinks and good fun. All time favorite is spicy fingers for their live music and Draft for great draft beer.

Take a day trip to Corregidor Island and get to know about the history of the Philippines. One of the great historic places in Philippines with culture and history of the country. Definitely worth a day tour which usually include a buffet lunch. You need to go to the port area just across from the Cultural Centre of the Philippines to find the boats going there.
