I'm shocked at statements that Mumbai is not good for food. I'm a total street food junkie, and there is no place in the world that dishes up street food like Mumbai. Hot vada pavs are the most amazing thing ever, especially with the red chutney and mirchi. Love the rest of the street stuff too like misal pav, usal pav, dabeli, samosa pav etc. Then there is always the pani puris and chats and all. Guru Kripa has the best in all types of snack food. Oooh and then there is Frankie too. Even the street chinese is unique.
Yes, Mumbai does seem to have a lot more of the foreign cuisines than local ethnic restaurants. The Parsi restaurants are ethnic, but how could Souro forget all the Udipi restraurants in Kings circle area. I went to college at Ruia and the best thing in the world was Manis where they used to have unlimited chutney sambar with whatever you ordered. Kings Circle has good South Indian Thalis too.
Fusion cuisine is good in Bombay too - Chinese dosa.
As for alcohol - Heck I'm Goan and live in Wisconsin.
I used to hate beer, but for the past few years I've started trying some. Besides when you are a student on a budget, $2 pitchers are manna from heaven. I personally prefer darks like Guinnes. Man up boys, Man up!
Not a fan of whiskey, its too harsh for me - but Jack and Coke or Jack and Sprite works. Prefer vodka because its versatile and all pretty girlie drinks can be made with vodka - white chocolate martinis, cosmopolitans, raspberry or cranberry vodka. Whats good is one vodka cocktail is as good as a couple beers.
Those who are not fans of alcohol, may I suggest Dangerade. Take a bottle of Gatorade and pour out top 1/4 or 1/6. Replace with vodka. Mix lightly and you have a waterbottle for your hand bag. No alchohol smell, you alcohol taste, smells, drinks tastes just like Gatorade. You dont even know you are drinking.
PS: Don't listen to me. I'm a terrible role model.
Hmm Dia you reminded me of filter coffee. My grandmother is from Udipi itself. She used to make fresh filter coffee every day. Nothing beats freshly brewed filter coffee. You have to get proper South Indian coffee too for that. I miss that filter coffee.
Although, what I do love about USA is the coffee aisle. I go into the coffee aisle and just take a deep huff, it's like experiencing the rapture.
Btw, I hear Delhi can't serve up a proper filter coffee brew for the life of them.

Your mom sure has good taste in coffee. They don't make it like they do in Kings Circle. We all will get along well. People with refined appreciation for filter coffee are precious gems.
On a side not on coffee, I heard about this coffee shop in NY I think that invented a drink that has 10 shots of espresso. The shop owner calls it 'po*n in a cup'. 😆 We will have to see how it turns out, caffeine is legal and unregulated but even Starbucks refuses more than 6 shots of espresso. Even potent energy drinks don't have that much caffeine. That's like a mega brutal jolt of caffeine to your system. Some people can get a caffeine shock.
Neetz, long time no see in this part of the woods. *hugs* even though you are from that place called Delhi. How have you been?
Btw, you missed some prostitution fireworks. Were you not the one who lit that spark on DM last year around?
So Delhi is slow, boring, and total opposite of awesomeness that is Bombay. Thanks for the affirmation.

Its all over hon, all over. Leave the bitterness and anger behind. 😛
So you've grown up in Delhi all the time. You sound more spunky, like you should be from Bombay.
