There are a lot of us who are planning on getting a great deal of R&R this coming long vacation, and if you’re not joining any of the Holy Week festivities, you may want to take a kitchen break and visit these restaurants which will be open during the holidays instead. The first 10 on the list are some good eats within the Metro, and the last five are in great tourist locations such as Baguio, Tagaytay, Palawan, Cebu, and Butuan.
