College Street

Fodor's Review:

Part of the animated area around Kolkata University, the sidewalks of College Street are stuffed with bookstalls where you just might discover a treasure. The neighborhood establishments here, like the classic but run-down Indian Coffee House (15 Bankin Chatterjee St.), are crowded every night with students and intellectuals. Opposite the coffeehouse, a huge colonial building houses the university's Presidency College, arguably the most prestigious seat of learning in India.
