This is very touristic spot, Oversaturated and overpriced. I don't necessarily recommend it, but many people do like to go there. Its similar to the 1st and second parks of Laureles.

Restaurants and bars, a nice place to hang out, although the second park of Laureles is better in my opinion. Both parks a just a few minutes walking from the other so you may as well check out both.

Another grocery store bigger than D1 with more selection but much smaller than Jumbo. This is a median priced store, slightly closer to our home and cheaper than Jumbo so its a good option for us.
