Deco By the Bay With Opthalmologist DrAnand Shroff

Starting at Meghdoot building, this walk snakes along the unrivalled Marine Drive Art Deco promenade to end at Soona Mahal. Opthalmologist, raconteur, numismatist and lover of all things vintage Bombay, Dr Shroff dips into his reservoir of oral history vignettes to speak of a neighbourhood that represented the city's aspirations toward modernity, cosmopolitanism, and progress, justifying its nickname ‘Queen’s Necklace’. The walks end with a bite at Nksha, which combines North Indian flavours with a retro Bombay aesthetic.
