Chor Bazaar and Crawford Market
Its gorgeously carved water fountains may have run out of water and its stone pathways may be packed with filth, but Crawford Market, built in 1869 and arguably the city’s first shopping mall, is still your best bet to find fresh vegetables, fruit and exotic food stuff like apples from New Zealand, Malta oranges and California plums. In the vicinity is Chor Bazaar (“Thieves’ Market”), where kitsch rules: Old film posters, postcards, porcelain vases, gramaphones, antique furniture and old magazines.
Near Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus.
