The fastest and easiest (although not the cheapest) way to unwind is to run to the nearest cafe, bar, resturant, or mall and enjoy the company of your favorite people. Even with the soaring prices in oil and gas, and added taxes in food and drinks, people have found a way to save up for a big night out or to rationalize spending more than a hundred pesos (around USD3) for designer coffee in just one afternoon. But "Being Spaces" in the city offer much more to the customer, that is it offers much inspiration to the person who walks in a store/gallery/bar/restaurant/wifi place. And maybe that's it, it offers multi-facets of itself to a customer and allows them the convenience of work and the comfort of being able to be with themselves (time alone) or with other people outside of their homes, or just well, be absorbed with the place. A crucial aspect of a space (apart from free wifi 
), is that it allows people a lot of time to stay there and not feel compelled to spend so much or else be forced out, but have customers happily spend hard earned money because it offers good food and drinks at reasonable prices, and a unique experience. And that's what a lot of people are after, to enjoy the experience of merging some facets of themselves reflected in the places they love to be in.
