Food

1. French Connection
Lusting for yummy chicken croissants and creamy chocolate eclairs? Gun for French Connection, the tiny confectionery shop tucked away in Evershine Millenium Paradise. And started by a young entrepreneur who has worked with the Taj group of Hotels. It's a sumptuous spread --from paneer and manchurian rolls, fresh mango pastries, chocolate cookies, fruit muffins, walnut brownies and jeera biscuits. If you don't fancy nibbles, opt for the succulent burgers, kathi rolls and exotic souffle. Wash down with coolers and ice creams. Highly recommended is the Black Magic cake.

2. Makhan Bhog
You get the best chat here on Sundays. Dilli style. Think crunchy kachauris, hot samosas, crisp jalebis, floating rasmalais and plump kesar rasgullas. Think Makhan Bhog, opposite Pizza Hut. This tiny sweet shop heaves with drool-worthy fare like malai pedas, gur sandesh, balushahi and an exotic variant called Nargis Kalam (in Bengali sweets) Glugging the kesari thandai and special lassi here is the best way to beat the heat. Price range Rs 5-12 per pc

3. Southern Treat
The true taste of South Indian fare is what you get here. Not too adventurous with the variations but the tang of a typical udipi flavours the food. Fresh fruit juices or chach, and a light, quick snack- meal of rava dosa, uttapam and idlis works well. The palak masala dosa is worth trying out. In line with Thakur College. Price range: Rs 10-45
