Touted as the cityu2019s first ever urban picnic, this weekend event promises a fun- filled day for the entire family Pick this picnic Shunashir Sen shunashir. sen@ mid- day. com Urban spaces in the West are usually so spread out and open that if a family wants to go out for a picnic, they can do so within city premises. People in London, for instance, make a beeline for Hampstead Heath and Hyde Park among others when they get a few days of clear sun in the summer, tanning themselves under the rays, drinking Pimmu2019s, and munching on sandwiches.

Mumbai, alas, doesnu2019t have that luxury. An overload of concrete monstrosities makes it impossible. But an event this weekend called The Picnic Project, touted as the cityu2019s first ever urban picnic, aims to change that equation with a laid- back day of curated activities at Lower Parelu2019s High Street Phoenix.
