Return by the evening and head to Park Street if you love to party and eat. The place houses some excellent restaurants. Also, if you're a party animal, then Calcutta is the place to be in. Groove into the night in pubs and discs like Underground at the Hotel Hindustan International, the best around. Kolkata's night life has indeed Cricket stores near me become among the best in the country lately, with people dancing away till 4am!
After having relaxed and giving time for your sore heels to heal, it's time to move to catch any matches, cricket or football, going on at either Salt Lake Stadium, the largest in the Indian Sub-Continent and the second largest in the world, or the famous Eden Gardens. Kolkata is known for its large stadia.
Kolkata is one of the major centres of football activity in India, which is evident from the presence of legend Maradona in 2008. Kolkata is also known as the Mecca of Indian Football. Calcutta Football League, which started in 1898, is the oldest football league in Asia. Kolkata is the home of top national Sports Club like Mohun Bagan AC, Mohemedan Sporting Club and East Bengal. Matches or no matches, one look at them is a good idea for sure. Some notable sports stars from Kolkata include former Indian national cricket captain Sourav Ganguly, and Olympic tennis bronze medalist Leander Paes.
Another place you must visit while in Kolkata is the Kali Ghat. As the name suggests, the temple is dedicated to Ma Kali. Thousands come to offer their prayers daily to the holy Goddess, Ma Kali. Mostly, you'll find it crowded at possibly any time of the day.
In case you wish to see the local areas here, Behala- the locality that houses the home of Cricket star Sourav Ganguly is a good option. The place screams Bengal! Some popular markets in Kolkata are New Market, next to the Grand Oberoi, Fancy Market in Khidirpur Area and Behala Market amongst others. Want to get a souvenir dress from Bengal, then go and look at Rammandir, Chittaranjan Avenue, you'll find beautiful exclusive collections of the famous Kantha work of Bengal. And while out shopping at these places, do indulge in the famous phuchka's (or golgappa's, as we North Indians call it) of Kolkata. They are a real treat. You'll also get a chance to hog on rolls here-there's a variety on this one. You'll get it all-chicken roll, mutton roll, egg roll, paneer roll, vegetable roll, kathi roll etc.
