HAVE YOU EVER WANTED A BEACH SPOT IN THE CITY?
WHAT: Tenant Manila
WHERE: Kamagong St., almost cor. Guijo St., Brgy. San Antonio, Makati
GO: Anytime on Tuesdays to Sundays, 12-9 pm (7 pm on Sundays)
WHAT’S UP: It’s a café and apparel store in one
MOST AWESOME THING
YOU CAN BUY THERE: BRAND SPANKIN’ NE SURFB ARDS BUT SECRETLY COME
BECAUSE: It’s your new maybe-secret place to chill
Of course you did. You want the laid-back charm of El Union Coffee, but you can’t always be in San Juan. That’s why Tenant Manila sprouted up in the heart of Makati, for you—you who wanted to feel like you were somewhere that seemed like it belonged on the seaside. Or, at least, a place that almost forces you to chill within it.
Tenant calls itself a “hub for expression through fashion, art, food, and design,” and we’re inclined to agree that they’re lling this role well. They’ve managed to do it all without ever looking like they’re forcing the issue; you can come in, get a cup of coffee or a nice tuna sandwich, and nd your inspiration among the coffeetable books and magazines splayed out around the place. If you’re up for it, or if this is what you came for, you can go to the second oor and shop for new threads. And if you’re going to LU or Baler over the holidays, have we mentioned that they’ve got surfboards waiting for you?
