This New Hangout Spot in the East Brings Together Food, Art, and Play in One Hub

From global bites and steaming hot pot to bold mural backdrops and barkada game nights, this East-side hub is built for every kind of hangout.

Foodies, art lovers, and gamers—this new hangout spot in the EAST has something for every squad.

From Neapolitan pizza and Okinawan steak to billiards showdowns and art-filled corners, the new East Wing at SM City East Ortigas is more than just a foodie playground—it’s a vibrant hangout spot. Whether you’re a foodie chasing global flavors, an art enthusiast hunting for Instagram-worthy backdrops, or gamers up for friendly matches at the Game Park, this East-side destination brings together passions in one stylish space.

For the Art Squads: The Glow-Up by Kiefsix

Adding to the cool factor? Manila-based illustrator and creative director Kiefsix (Kiefer Indiongco) transformed blank walls into massive, colorful murals. His basketball-inspired, bold designs turn the East Wing into an open gallery, making it as much an art crawl as a hangout hub. And with EYO, a fun, sun-inspired character also designed by Kiefsix, visitors get a playful guide through the space-always selfie-ready and Insta-friendly.

For the Foodies: A Passport of Flavors

The East Wing lineup reads like a culinary world tour:
