Quezon City Food Street — From Maginhawa to Banaue Chinese Street
As befits Metro Manila's largest city, Quezon City has distinct food streets. The university district of Maguinha is lively in the evenings, while Banaue, known for its Chinese cuisine, is bustling from lunch to dinner. Since the areas are far apart, using Grab is essential, and be sure to bring cash (pesos) for street stalls and markets.
