Okay people, since I hail from Kolkata, I have my own reasons for keeping New Market at the top of the list. Spread over a large area, there is nothing in the world you won’t get here. And yes, try your bargaining skills because trust me a product worth INR 100 can come down to INR 20 (if you know what you are doing).

And afterwards, hog on puchkas! YUMMMM!
