It is a paradise for women as they can shop for cosmetics, jewelry, clothes, accessories and much more! It is also the hotspot for various cafes, road-side restaurants such as Leopold Cafe, Cafe Mondegar, Barista, and Cafe Churchill.
- When you have filled your bags with enough accessories and souvenirs, let's move forward to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. Though one of the most significant railway stations of Mumbai, it the mind-blogging architecture that's worth noting. And guess what? It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site so you wouldn't miss clicking some pictures, would you?
- Now that we have to move further, let's take a shortcut from the legendary Azad Maidan! A significant landmark during Indian Independence, it the hotbed where future cricket stars are born! Surely, you would find dozens of pitches around you where children in white jerseys try to chisel their cricket skills. Fun fact: Sachin Tendulkar practiced right here during his young days!
- After crossing Azad Maidan, now its time to explore the ancient sacred temple of Walkeshwar. Built during the 12th century, this religious place is crowded at all times! Dedicated to Hindu Lord Shiva, it has a water tank within its complex known as Banganga. Don't miss out on little children bathing in the tank. You could chat up with the locals and discover more stories about the temple's origin.
- Now that the first half of the is over, let us begin with the second half which is an exclusive culinary tour! You are about to experience the exquisite palette of Mumbai's favorite street food dishes! All you have to do is tag along to the famous Girgaum Chowpatty!
- Once we get there, don't worry much about the crowds, since the beach is large enough to accommodate thousands of people. Without wasting time, we will start exploring the various stalls lined up along the beach. Let's start with the popular Bhelpuri. It is a sweet-spicy assortment of puffed up rice with dry fruits, condiments and tamarind chutney that would make your taste buds jump in joy. We later try some relishing Panipuri! Spicy or too sweet? The choice is yours to make!
- There is too much space left in your tummy! Why not grab a plate of Mumbai's most famous Pav Bhaji. This mashed vegetable curry served with butter melts right in your mouth while you savor it with flatbread. From Dahi puri to Vada Pav or Masala Dosa, the options are seemingly endless folks!
- Now that you have had all you could, how about some dessert! There is always some room for ice cream right? Enjoy Kulfi, hand-churned ice cream made of condensed milk and dry fruits!
