Cottage Cafe Smoothie Factory: Not so smooth experience
Smoothie factory’s outlet at Cottage Emporium, Janpath looks very promising but disappoints with their overpriced food and bad service. Though its a good option for people looking for health food like grilled sandwiches, salads and fresh fruit smoothies, it can’t be visited frequently given the food prices. Moreover the seating space is very limited.
What makes Delhi Book Fair 2015 a fun do…
The Delhi Book Fair was recently held at Pragati Maidan during August 29 – September 6, 2015. It presented a wide gamut of books on a variety of subjects from publishers in India and abroad.

Karna Lake – Roadtrip from Delhi
A day trip to Karna lake, about 140 Kms from Delhi, takes about 2.5 hours. Once out of Delhi, the highway is dotted with dhabas and resorts where one can stop for breakfast/lunch or even spend the night. Gulshan dhaba, where we stopped, is a somewhat modern take on dhaba which does not disappoint. Karna lake, surrounded by greenery, is a great photo op. Further, boating facilities make this a very attractive fun-do for children as well.
Yes Minister – Bowling, Bar & Kitchen
Yes Minister is a sports bar in Essex Farms (off IIT Flyover). They have amongst others snooker, ice hockey and about four bowling alleys. The food and drinks require some improvement. However the place is spacious and given the convenient location (bang opposite Hauz Khas Metro Station), this is a fun-do any weekend.

Dance Like a Man – Cineplay written and directed by Lilette Dubey
The cinematic version of Mahesh Dattani’s English play “Dance Like a Man” was recently screened at Delhi Gymkhana Club. Given that the direction and the cast boasted names like Lillette Dubey, Suchitra Pillai, Joy Sengupta etc., we expected more.
High Street Café: Food and drinks option in West Delhi
High Street Café is located in a cluster of restaurants off Rajouri Garden. They serve what we could call desi Continental food. We got a table without reservation even on a Friday evening. So if you are obvious choices are not available, you may try this.

Parts of the Rashtrapati Bhawan are open for public visit and hour long tours are conducted by trained guides inside the Bhawan. During the course of the tour, one gets to see various settings that are otherwise visible only on TV. This is an activity that may attract children and adults alike.
bohème – Short films and finger food
bohème is a continental resto-bar at D Blk Market, Vasant Vihar. They serve simple but interesting food and the décor is soothing. However, it is high up on the second floor without a lift. So for the steep three storey climb – fitness is a prerequisite!
