Apart from Juhu in the suburbs, Chowpatty is Mumbai's
most famous beach. During the day, it is the hangout of
the happily unemployed who snooze under the shade of its
stunted trees. But in the evening the atmosphere is more
like a carnival: kids screaming on Ferris wheels or taking
pony rides, wayside astrologers making a quick buck, monkey
shows, and even the odd self -styled gymnast who will
demonstrate amazing yogic postures for a small fee. At
one end is a row of bhelpuri shops hawking Mumbai's most
popular snack: crisp puffed rice and semolina doused in
pungent chutneys, all scooped up with a flat, fried puri.
You might even catch a film shoot or a street play. In
short, for most tourists Chowpatty is where the action
is.
