Yeah, the Cotton King's Ruin... I haven't been there myself in ages, but word on the street is security's tightened up considerably. Used to be easier to sneak in, but now they're pretty vigilant. Graffiti's still insane though, from what I hear. If you're going for photos, go during the day – much safer. And definitely don't go alone. Even in broad daylight, it's a bit of a dodgy area. Tell someone your plans and when you expect to be back. Bring a friend, and maybe even a local who knows the area. You'll want someone who can warn you about any potential problems, or at least help you if things go south.

Depends what part of Chembur your relatives live in. Chembur's HUGE. If they're near the station, chances are those spots are long gone, replaced by more modern stuff. But if they're in one of the older, more residential areas... maybe. You'll have to do some exploring. Ask your relatives – they're your best bet. Even if the exact spots are gone, they might remember the general area, or know someone who does. Old timers often hold onto that kind of info. Don't expect Michelin stars, though. It'll be basic, but hopefully delicious. Good luck on your food hunt!
