Makati Gourmet Map — From Población Nightlife to Salcedo Market
True to its status as a financial district, Makati accepts card payments readily, but cash (pesos) is more convenient for the stalls and weekend market in Población. Población is open from evening until dawn, while Salcedo Market is open only on Saturday mornings. Grab is easy to catch, but keep in mind that traffic is heavy during Friday night rush hour.
