Get your fill of good food, geek gadgets, great books, and gorgeous guys at this hip and happening strip.
If you haven’t seen the goods along Bonifacio High Street, what planet do you live in? Located in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, the so-called High Street is a kilometer-long avenue lined with an impressive array of well-designed, well-lit, high-end restos, retail stores, cafes, and bars.
The twin boulevard also features a 400m x 40m-wide park where pet lovers can take their fluffy friends out for a walk while enjoying the sights and goods High Street has to offer. And by goods we mean more than just flip-flops and laptops. These are the places where you spot the hotties:
B6, Bonifacio High Street
Scoping It Out: A five-storey structure of pure satisfaction—intellectual satisfaction, that is. Each floor has a different theme for easy access to…books (let’s not forget we’re here for books) and the third floor is the sanctuary for something dark, hot, and downright delicious: Starbucks coffee.
Spotted: Yuppies in pursuit of intellectual orgasm, bookworms, white-collar types, aged 19-35.
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Ground floor, B8, Bonifacio High Street
Scoping It Out: It’s your typical yellow-lit coffee-tea-pastry joint with big, low, cushiony couches inside and wooden lounge chairs outside. While it’s the haven of the “I’m-too-cool-to-hang-out-in-Starbucks” crowd, somewhere in there is a hottie with tea and a Macbook.
Spotted: Lonely hotties, sensitive types, writers, and probably a few alpha males browsing the Internet, aged 21-35.
Nike Park
B3, Bonifacio High Street
Scoping It Out: Said to be the biggest, best, and most complete Nike Park branch in the country, it is a Nike fan’s very own indoor Disneyland. It’s a store teeming with six-pack abs, lean arms, and toned legs! So…just do it.
Spotted: Tall and lean athletes, sports-minded guys who are serious with their game plan, aged 20-35.
T.G.I.Fridays
Ground floor, B3, Bonifacio High Street
Scoping It Out: It’s the best venue for that Friday after-work dinner: a warm, cozy, and sometimes boisterous resto that serves American cuisine. Hey, it’s complete with bartenders and waiters with toothy-smiles and colorful uniforms.
Spotted: Your typical after-work yuppies in loose ties and rolled-up sleeves enjoying a round of beer and good food with friends, aged 21-30.
IStudio
Ground Floor, B3, Bonifacio High Street
Scoping It Out: It’s your one-stop shop for everything Apple!
Spotted: The iPod-toting, Macbook-carrying techie types aged 20-40. Don’t you just love cute geeks?
Butch Evangelista, 19, student
“I come here once or twice a week to eat and to socialize siyempre! Or maybe check out the girls (laughs).”
Jomel Ranola, 18, student
“I’m here once a week, mostly on weekends, to meet my friends and party.”
Michael Maglilong, 24, graduate student
“Sometimes I go here by myself to check out the stores like Nike Park. High Street is a very nice place to unwind and stroll…[with its] good, clean atmosphere and landscape. On Saturday nights, I check out the Ascend Bar with friends. It has a good crowd and it’s one of the coolest bars in town.”
