Chowringhee
Commercial Districts, Central Calcutta
Fodor's Review:
North Calcutta may be Calcutta's intellectual heart, but in an age of business-friendly communist governments, the slick commercial area east of the Maidan is the city's spinal cord. Now technically called Jawaharlal (or J. L.) Nehru Road, Chowringhee runs along the east side of the Maidan, with shops, hotels, and old Victorian buildings lining the other side of the wide pavement. In the evening, hawkers do their best with potential shoppers, and at night, the homeless bed down.
