717 Deli

Food

717 Deli in Greenhills is a modern deli concept built around sandwiches, pantry goods, coffee, and quick but carefully assembled comfort food. The Connecticut Street location suits breakfast, lunch, or a casual meet-up more than a formal occasion. Some items sell out, so go earlier if a specific sandwich or baked item is the reason for your trip. Parking around Greenhills side streets can be competitive; use the building’s instructions and avoid assuming you can stop directly in front.

Arcadia Billiards Plus

Activity

Arcadia Billiards Plus at Promenade gives Greenhills a social game-night option beyond shopping and dining. The appeal is simple: rent a table, order food or drinks, and let the barkada compete without the pressure of a formal sports club. It suits dates and groups who want conversation between games, but table availability can tighten at night. Ask about hourly rates, food minimums, age rules, and reservation mechanics before arriving with a large group. Keep cues and balls on the table area, and respect players waiting for the next slot.

Art Underground Manila

Museum

Art Underground Manila is a contemporary gallery on the second floor of Mabini180 in Addition Hills, founded in 2014 to show painting, sculpture, installation, and new media by emerging and established artists. The reason to visit changes every few weeks because the exhibition—not the building—is the main event. Check the current artist and show dates before commuting, then give yourself time to look instead of speed-running the room for photos. Gallery entry is usually straightforward, but openings, installation days, and private activities can affect access.

Bun Run

Food

Bun Run in San Juan is built around indulgent burgers and buns, making it the kind of stop you choose because you are specifically craving a messy, satisfying handheld meal. The small A. Mabini food cluster setting suits casual dates and barkada food runs, but it is not the place for a long multi-course dinner. Check the latest menu for burger builds, sides, and limited specials, then order with appetite in mind. Parking around the neighborhood is tight, so ride-hailing keeps the meal simpler and avoids circling before the food gets cold.

Cafe Mabini

Cafe

Cafe Mabini in Addition Hills is a neighborhood all-day café where breakfast plates, coffee, comfort food, and a homey setting make it better for slow brunches than a rushed caffeine pickup. The quieter residential location suits casual dates, family meals, and small conversations away from bigger commercial strips. Check the current menu and opening days before going because independent cafés can change schedules. Parking is limited around A. Mabini, so a small group and ride-hailing setup usually feels less stressful.

Chef Laudico Guevarra’s

Food

Guevarra’s by Chef Laudico is a Filipino buffet inside a restored 1920s house on P. Guevarra Street, so the setting is part of the meal. The spread mixes familiar celebration food with restaurant signatures such as Angus beef tapa, Bellychon, grilled pancit bam-i, and a large dessert section. Pang-birthday, reunion, at family lunch talaga siya more than casual quick bite. Reservations matter because dining happens in scheduled buffet seatings, and the heritage-house parking and event spaces can become busy at the same time.

Eraya

Food

Eraya in the P. Guevarra-Wilson area is a stylish neighborhood restaurant for date nights, shared dinners, and cocktails in a setting that feels more intentional than a casual café. The menu and atmosphere are the reason to go, so check current signatures and event nights rather than relying on old social posts. Reserve for weekend dinner, tell the restaurant about celebrations, and ask whether indoor or outdoor seating is available. San Juan street parking can be limited, making ride-hailing a cleaner plan for groups who will drink.

Fundacion Sansó

Museum

Fundación Sansó is a small San Juan museum dedicated to the life and work of Juvenal Sansó, with paintings, prints, textiles, archives, and changing exhibitions presented in an intimate setting. The focused collection makes it ideal for visitors who prefer one artist in depth rather than a huge general museum. Check the current exhibition and tour availability, then allow about an hour. Because the space is quiet and compact, large groups and young children need extra consideration.

Gaea

Food

Gaea in Addition Hills is an all-day restaurant and bar that can move from brunch and coffee into dinner and cocktails without changing venues. The stylish but relaxed room makes it useful for dates and barkada catch-ups where some guests want a full meal and others want drinks. Check the current menu and evening programming, because late-night mood can differ from daytime dining. Reserve during weekend dinner, ask about parking along A. Mabini, and decide whether the group is coming for food, drinks, or both before ordering.

Gianetto Pizzeria

Food

Gianetto Pizzeria is a San Juan neighborhood Italian restaurant built around pizza, pasta, and familiar comfort dishes for sharing. It is a better fit for a relaxed family dinner or casual date than a fast slice-and-go stop, especially when the group wants to split several items. Check the current menu and pizza sizes before over-ordering, and reserve if bringing a large table because the V. Cruz location has a more intimate setup. Street access and parking around Little Baguio can be tight, making ride-hailing practical.
