Staying in the city this Holy Week? It’s not such a bad idea. There’s never a perfect time to see the city quiet and empty what with the majority of its residents off to their own provinces or out-of-town vacations. We’ve made a list of establishments where you can dine, shop, relax, and enjoy the holidays to your heart’s content. Have a great weekend ahead!
