Like a self-consuming urban forest, Mumbai’s frenetic expansion threatens its own heritage. This newspaper recently uncovered the news about Chowpatty’s landmark Bachelorr’s facing the threat of closure. Sources state that the Brihanmumbai Mahanagar Corporation (BMC) is considering the idea to offer relief to the traffic that passes through the chaotic road facing the eatery. If authorities decide to go ahead with the decision, the city will lose another iconic eatery that has been the hangout of film stars, and common Mumbaikars alike.

Before that came to be, we took a trip down to Girgaum to taste some of its coolest and quirkiest offerings.
