Sion East Mysteries
honestly i think you're overthinking this. there's a spot under the flyover near the station exit, the one with the broken streetlight. old guy, never smiles, just hands you a plate of vada pav wrapped in newspaper. he's there from like 5:30 to 6:15, no later. if you blink you'll miss it. bring exact change, he won't take anything bigger than a 20.
Nah, it's not a myth. Sion East's got a lot of hidden food spots, that's for sure. Dawn thing sounds legit though... sounds like one of those super-local places only the real residents know about. Forget the internet; your best bet is to just wander around the area near the station really early. Like, seriously early. Ask around, maybe chat with some chai wallahs or people waiting for trains. Word of mouth is your only weapon here. You'll probably see a small crowd gathering somewhere if you're there before sunrise. Good luck, you'll need it! That kind of legendary street food is worth the hunt.
The second reply is pretty much bang on, that's the one. It's not really a secret if you know the area, it's just that no one posts about it online. The flyover spot near platform 3 exit is exactly right, and the broken streetlight is the landmark. If you get there at 5:45 and there's a line of about six or seven people standing silently, you're in the right place. The vada pav is good, but honestly the thing to order is the misal pav, he makes it spicier than anyone else in the neighborhood. Just don't try to chat with him, he's been doing this for thirty years and he's not about to start now.
I want to sell my old clothes
have u tried the chor bazaar route? not for selling to shops but the friday morning flea guys near mumbadevi, some of them buy vintage/retro pieces outright and pay better than the bale walas if ur stuff has any character. got 800 for a bunch of old levi's and band tees there. thing is u gotta go early like 6am and know how to hold ur ground, they smell desperation instantly
one thing nobody mentioned, watch out for the weight vs piece thing. kabadiwalas and bale buyers pay by kilo so heavy stuff like denim and woolens actually earn more than fancy light stuff. i cleared a whole bag of old jeans to a guy in Malad for way better than what my branded shirts fetched. also wash everything before u show it, sounds obvious but dusty clothes get lowballed on sight.
honestly the timing matters more than the platform. end of month is when people get salary and actually buy, so list ur stuff around the 1st or 2nd. also post pics in natural light near a window, not on ur bed with flash, makes a huge difference on OLX and insta thrift pages. i've flipped a lot of my old stuff this way and the same kurta that got ignored at 300 sold for 500 when i relisted it properly.
