Last June 28, my friends and I went to Maginhawa street in Quezon City, the famous street when it comes to food trippin'.
I've watched and read lots of reviews and features of Maginhawa street in TV and newspapers, and being a gastronomic person myself, we hop in the car and started the road trip.
We got to the place at around 4:30pm and stroll around the area looking for interesting place to eat. And lo, there are so may restaurant to choose from. We saw different varieties like japanese food, burgers, desserts and even lutong bahay, name it and you will find it.
Tip: If you are going to commute, wear a comfortable shoes since the street is long and the interval of restaurants are a bit far from each other.
Since we haven't eaten our lunch yet and thanks to waze app we found what we were looking for. With lots of reviews, we were unanimous in trying the famous Gerry's jeepney.
It boast of its unique exterior designs that is very much Filipino. At the gate we were welcomed by lines of jeep that is converted to long tables for the customers to eat.

Other Info. :
Arrive early so that you don't have to wait a little longer and for you to have parking space. After eating, try the ice cream at the gate which is very delicious esp the avocado flavor for only P20 per cone.
