Walking the Streets of Cubao Expo

I've lived in Quezon City for almost a decade. When I was there, I've been to a lot of very interesting places and have heard about a lot more places that I've not been to but planned to see one way or another. But I have never been to the Cubao Expo nor was it ever on my list of places that I've wanted to see. It is only after I've moved back to the province that I've actually visited the place. And I'm so glad I did. When I first saw it, I thought it was amazing how this quiet little complex is bursting in the seams of art, culture, and all-around indie and bohemian vibe and I have not even heard of it when I was living in the same city. This is for me definitely one of Quezon City's best kept secrets.

Here are some of the quaint and unique restaurants and shops you can find at the Cubao Expo.

See and experience what these wonderful shops have to offer. Visit the Cubao Expo at Gen. Romulo Street, Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City.

The Reading Room

The Reading Room is a small shop owned by friends of mine. It is located at the Cubao Expo in Quezon City. The name "Reading Room" gives you the impression that it is a bookshop.

Actually, what is read there are not books, but palms.


Not those palms. If you want your fortune read, this is the place to go too.

Downstairs are a very interesting collection of clothing, bags and other trinkets. My wife is very fond of buying stuff at The Reading Room, especially because they charge really wholesale like prices.
