Things to do at the Plant

Living near the Powerplant Mall at Rockwell Center has its perks albeit quite pricey. But if you find yourself in the right shops and restaurants, you'll definitely get your money's worth.

So this my take on the best way to spend a day at the "Plant".

So the "ground" floor is where all the entrances are if you didn't park your car in the basement parking. So once you enter, there's Zara, in the other entrances there's Mango, and Starbucks. Ground floor usually has the higher end stuff like Armani and CK, DKNY, some make-up/beauty stores like Beauty Bar, Body Shop, Shiseido, and Lush

So if you want Starbucks coffee, this is the level to be.
Want that perfect mani/pedicure? or even some threading? So go to Beauty Bar and inside you'll find Dashing Diva and a day spa.

So down we go a level, the concourse level. This is where the food and grocery is.
For great gelatos, go to Pazzo.
Heartwarming rice noodles? Pho24.
Savory Asian dishes? Banana leaf (try their Iced tea tarik!)
If you're craving Italian though, I vote Cibo which is in the ground level, outside. Beside Starbucks. They also have in the third floor.
The concourse level also houses True Value, Mr. Quickie, LBC, Office Warehouse, and SM Appliance.

So up up, two levels!

The second floor has Seattle's Best and Diamond Cake Club.
The Cake Club has the most sinful chocolate cake! Best paired with their Sumi coffee.
They also have rich walnut cheesecake, best for sharing!

Archealogy section is also here for those upcoming designer clothes.
The opposite end there's more affordable clothing at the Hip Stop.
Craving sisig? There's Dencio's right behind Figaro coffee.
There's also a National bookstore in this level.

Now, the Cinema level, third floor. There's another Starbucks here, Jamaican patties, Oliver's Super Sandwiches and gadgets and Powerstation for those who want to give virtual racing a go or just rock with guitar hero.

Fully Booked has Press cafe! I loooove their iced tea, chocolate gelato, chicken roulade, cheezy eggplant and pressadillas! They also have Tarot card reading sessions!

Opposite end is kiddie land where all the kiddie stuff is. Royce' is also in that area along with Lulubelle yogurts!

If you get bored you could always go to Block 9 or the Jungle!
They have Starbucks, UCC, Grams, Pancake House, and Cantinetta.

Soms is also walking distance if you want no-fuss authentic Thai.

So basically, these are the essentials for me haha.
Enjoy!
