Both nostalgia and flavors.
In the first of our series on good eats around the metro’s major universities, find out where the Archers dine and have a good time when classes are out. We found the oldies but goodies that a lot of alumni would very much miss, as well as some new ones who have become regular hubs to the current DLSU population.
If I were you, I’d call friends or family members and try these places out. There are reasons why they’ve made so much buzz. Check them out on the Booky app and add them to your ‘Must Try’ lists!
