1. Gala Optics
Need a hip pair of sun combatters? Head for this sunglass hut diagonally opposite Thakur Cinema. From DKNY to Fossil to Gucci, they have it all. Apart from a 'with it' array of frames to complement every face. Price range: Rs 250 onwards

2. Small Wonder
For modest Mumbai apartments, this toy library is a godsend as it eliminates the possibility of your tiny tot's playthings taking over your entire space. For only Rs 125 a month, you can enroll at Small Wonder and borrow from the choicest of wooden blocks, imported play n learn books and innovative toys. Located on the first floor, above Jalaram Timber shop in Evershine Millenium Paradise

3. Thakur Cinema
It's the defining landmark of Thakur Village. Single screen but runs the latest films. Believe it or not, you get 'seat service': order popcorn, snacks like hot corn, samosa and sandwiches and beverages before you slide into your seat and it all gets delivered into your hands at the time you specified. You can even order food at the restaurant on the first level and chomp away while watching the movie. Or have your own flick party by booking the entire Box section of the cinema. Cool or what?

4. S. Pan Bhandar
A must stop for betel aficionados. At Thakur Cinema. It's open from 7:00 am to 2:00 am. 365x7. The cheapest paan costs Rs 3 and the most expensive Rs 15. Kalkatta magai and banarasi meetha are the specialities to savour here. From a colourful collection of saunf to a variety of cigars and cigarettes, you get it all here
