City Living Experience at Ortigas
by yellowbell
For a similar city living experience (a.ka. walking the malls and dining in good restaurants), hop into the train or what we call the MRT and get off at Shaw station (4 stations away from Ayala Station). The Shaw station is connected to the 5th floor of an upscale shopping mall called Shangrila. On most weekend afternoons, you might catch a free musical event in it's atrium.
For a more common man's shopping experience, go next door to SM Megamall and put on your skating or bowling shoes. Take your pick!

Free Transportation?!
by cyndymc
You can go around Makati without spending transportation money. Yes! Exercise your feet, and walk on the elevated walkways (sometimes called overpass) or the underpass or wide sidewalks. Makati is so pedestrian-friendly, you can reach your destination without hailing a cab or jeepney.
The Bedspace Experience
by galatea234 about Bedspace
There’s this hip and happening place in Greenbelt 3 that I have constantly heard of but never had the chance to visit, not until last Monday night. It’s where they serve international cuisine and the servers are clad in pajamas to somehow unify themselves with the atmosphere of the place, the place is called BEDSPACE located at Greenbelt 3 just beside the Red Box. As I entered the restaurant, it gave me that comfy feeling which you rarely get in places around Makati. The hue of the color blue surrounding every corner of this cozy little place adds up to that welcoming atmosphere not to mention the warm greetings of the friendly bartenders and waitresses. Literally, they have beds where you can sit on. And on this beds are lap-tables where the food will be placed. Really, cozy and a different experience. But to those patrons who doesn’t want their outfits to be wrinkled, there are still normal tables around with throw-pillows on the chairs to still give that unique bedspace-touch. Lunch and dinner are served, at night I heard that it’s a place where you can groove to the beat of the best DJs around the metro. They have this promo Php500 for a set meal which includes an appetizer, two main entrees and a dessert. The food are served fine-dine-cuisine-style. Calamares with tartar sauce, grilled beef, baked stuff chicken, strawberry icecream, raspberry-based drink
