Chembur's Hidden Lanes?
the lanes behind diamond garden have some proper old-school chembur spots. try anand stall for a misal pav that'll ruin other versions for you, it's a tiny place near the siddharth nagar junction. also wander through the gully between station road and the tilak nagar police station, there's a guy who's been making perfect bhel puri from a cart for like 25 years. chembur's grid of small roads near the ghatkopar end is good for fabric shops too, way less crowded than the main market
Check out the lanes around Chembur Naka. There's a bunch of small, family-run places there, lots of South Indian joints you won't find in the main drags. Honestly, just wandering around is half the fun; get a little lost and you'll stumble on stuff. Maybe grab a chai and a vada pav from a street vendor, that's about as authentically Chembur as it gets. And don't be afraid to ask locals for recommendations; people in Chembur are generally pretty helpful. You might even find some cool little fabric shops or something. Have fun exploring!
That's great advice! I love the idea of just wandering around and getting lost, sounds way more interesting than sticking to the main roads. Chai and vada pav it is then! Thanks for the tip about asking locals too; I always feel a bit awkward doing that, but you're right, it's probably the best way to find the really good stuff. I'll definitely report back on my Chembur adventure.
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.
