EVERYDAY FUN DAY
Spending an entire day with the better half doesn’t get more charming than in BGC. Here’s our guide to the hippest places you can scour with the lover from morning ‘til night.
Brunch: SaladStop!
Lower Ground Floor, Central Square, 5th Avenue corner 30th Street, BGC
(0917) 804.69.21
When just the thought of eating the usual grub cloys your and your partner’s palates, you know it’s time for something fresh. And not just “new” but literally fresh, as in SaladStop! fresh. The Singapore DIY food franchise jumps onto the healthy bandwagon without the food-for-fasting relegation, turning the ubiquitous salad into a craveable meal. The lot of choices you can have wrapped or on their own are prepared as you order. Servings of our favorites Oh Crab Lah!, Jai Ho! And Go Geisha (P260 salad; P250 wrap) can even be shared. Pushing the Eat Wide Awake movement, it’s the place where ordering salad during a date doesn’t feel chichi.
After Dinner: Farmacy
Ground Floor, Net Lima Building, 4th Avenue corner 26th Street, BGC
(02) 887.36.22
An ode to our obsession with anything retro, Farmacy elevates the ice cream parlor experience by giving the childish fare a snazzy appeal. As other similar concepts strive to infuse funk into the beloved ice cream, this 1900s soda-fountain-at-a-drugstore inspired dessert bar from the WildFlour group spotlights well-made classics. Ice cream created fresh on-site and kept at optimum temperatures add to the sweet experience that perfectly caps a date night. Share a Brioche Bomboloni (P225), a Classic Sundae (P270), Banana Split (P270), or stick two straws in a thick milkshake with malted milk (P260). Farmacy will remind you why a dose of sweets makes everything so, so much better.
Midnight: The Fort Entertainment Center
31st Street, The Fort Entertainment Center, BGC
Defy #LolaMode with the better half and set aside the lined up DVDs for the weekend marathon. BGC is teeming with nightlife bustle and you’re missing out! The go to joint for post-work night caps and weekend warriors, The Fort Entertainment Center huddles the city’s most popular hangouts in a single complex that defines bar hopping in the metro. Whether it’s all-night dancing, lounging with friends, or a fun dinner date with the beau, The Fort is your one-stop-shop with establishments like Prive Members Only, Draft Bar, Imperial Ice Bar, Aracama, or Amber Ultra Lounge. It’s the place you can count on to unwind and let loose any day of the week.
