Cubao Things to Do

4 more images

When I was a little girl my only choices were:
1) Rustan's (Thank God it's in Gateway)
2) Ali Mall (well, it's still there where it is)
3) SM Cubao (still there)
4) Farmer's Market (still there)
5)CubaoX (Marikina Shoe Expo)...about to be gone because of Manhattan Gardens City, the biggest & most ambitious condo project of Araneta Group & Megaworld, comprising 17 high rise residential buildings. ---thank God they won't get rid of Bellini's (one the most happening places in Cubao)
6)C.O.D.

Thank God, now there's GATEWAY!

Gateway for me is the greatest thing that happened to Araneta Center so far. It has paved the way for the rehabilitation and renovation of the nearby establishments, including The Araneta Coliseum (a.k.a. The Big Dome). Gateway has brought the class back to the dwindling or submerging commercial center. It enlivened Cubao! Now, Cubao is one of the most happening places in Metro Manila! =)
