This season, however, the entire planning process will be simplified as MiD DAY brings to you the hottest destinations in South Delhi to strike the right festive note. Take your pick.
Lajpat Nagar
To all the ladies out thereâ¦if you think bargaining is your birth right, this is the place to be. And if you can't bargain, you'll regret the prices you paid for life. Apparels, home furnishings, fashion accessories, consumer durables or digging into lip smacking junk food there is absolutely nothing that you won't get here. This market is a mixture of roadside stalls as well as glitzy showrooms. Ashok Manchanda, president of the market association says, "Our market offers such an extensive variety and competitive price, that shoppers can't resist, but shop till the last penny in the wallet."
At 3Cs, you can enjoy Diwali releases like Golmaal Returns and EMI. While you would relish golgappas, chaats and dahi bhalle sold by road side vendors, save some space for the authentic momos sold by the Tibetan ladies.
South Extension
Probably all the big Indian and international brands have a store in this high end shopping location. Though this place is choked to death during off season sales, but rest of the time, it's a costly affair to shop here. For the pros on the go, there are several eating outlets, posh pubs, bars and discotheques too.
Sarojini Nagar
Only for bargainers and flee market hoppers, Sarojini Nagar is known
for its cheap prices. You might not get Nike, Reebok or Levis here but you will surely get their cheaper version. From export surplus garments to rejected export clothing, don't miss to benefit literally the throw away prices. On the flip side, you would hardly find trial rooms, as there are mainly pedestrian-only zones. So just look, pick, pay and leave.
