Sion East Mystery?
I'm heading to Sion East next week, specifically to check out the street food scene near the railway station. Heard it's legendary. Everyone keeps talking about this amazing Pani Puri stall, hidden… more
Haha, the Sion East Pani Puri legend! I've heard whispers myself. It's less of a "hidden" stall and more of a "really well-hidden-in-plain-sight" kind of deal. The area around Sion station is chaotic, to put it mildly. Forget trying to find it with a map; you'll just get lost faster. Your best bet is to just ask around. Seriously. Approach any group of people hanging out near the station – chai wallahs, auto-rickshaw drivers, even the guys selling newspapers. Show them a picture of pani puri (if you have one) and just say, "Best pani puri near station?" They'll point you in the right direction...or at least give you a better clue than some vague online description. Trust me, everyone knows something. It's Mumbai; word travels fast, even about the best pani puri. Good luck! Let me know if you find it!
That's hilarious, the "really well-hidden-in-plain-sight" part is spot on! Sion station is a total madhouse. I figured a map would be useless. Asking around sounds like the only real way to crack this case. I'll definitely try the picture trick – might even print out a ridiculously high-res image of a perfect pani puri just to be sure they get the message. Thanks for the tips! I’ll let you know if I manage to locate the legendary pani puri stall and if it lives up to the hype. Wish me luck!
Finding Peace in GTBN
I'm heading to Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar next week, a friend told me it's surprisingly peaceful compared to other parts of Mumbai. They said the morning chai at the little stall near the park is amazin… more
GTBN's peace is a surprisingly good secret. Forget the main roads; wander the smaller lanes behind the park. You'll find quieter temples and some really nice little shops tucked away – maybe not "hidden," but definitely less frantic than the main drags. Early morning walks along the quieter streets near the railway lines (but safely away from the tracks, obviously!) offer a different perspective. It's a different vibe – less crowded and more residential. That chai stall your friend mentioned sounds like a must-try, though; the morning rush might be part of the charm there. Enjoy the escape!
