You need to see it to believe it! The Westside & Pantaloons complex in Camac Street is one of the best shopping malls in Kolkata and one amongst the largest in India. If you want to have a complete shopping experience under one roof, then this is the right place for you. Believe me, once you visit Westside you won't come out from the store empty handed. There is something for everyone here.
And if you are visiting Pantaloons, first you would find it difficult to choose just one thing for yourself and for your family or friend. This retail outlet of Pantaloons is one of the largest in India and you are sure to have a mind-boggling shopping experience. Not only clothes of all types for all types of people, you can also find a supermarket here, selling all types of foods, drinks, cosmetics and many more. The ground floor of Pantaloons sells only womenswear, jewelleries including diamonds, leather goods and accessories for men and women as well as varieties of perfumes. The first floor sells kidswear and toys, while the second floor sells menswear and fashionwear exclusively for men, sportswear, shoes, cosmetics, jewelleries. The third floor sells varieties of foods and drinks.
Other than these, you can also buy music albums from Planet M, accessories from Nik-Nish. You can top your shopping experience by having an Italian pizza or pasta at Pizza Hut or just by relaxing and having some smoothie or classic freshly ground coffee at Cafe Coffee Day in the same complex. And if you are coming by your private vehicle to this complex, then don't worry, there is ample parking space here!
Anything you wish - clothes, music albums, watches, cosmetics, shoes, jewelleries, foods, drinks and many more. I visit this complex very frequently to go to Pantaloons for buying varieties of clothes and accessories. I prefer Westside for jeanswear.

As I have mentioned in my several tips the City Of Kolkata is changing very fast with very positive attitude! The positive attitude includes people behaviour also. With the changing scenario the latest addition is South Ciy Shopping Mall. You get everything you desire. Built in the pattern of American shopping malls, it is the largest shopping mall in India and built inside the city. The shops are right from grocery ( Spencers) to Swaroski crystals. There is even a Dollar shop,where you can buy American goods at a bargain price! It also has 6 cinema halls,10 restaurants, fast food counters, many escalators, a parking space to house 1300 cars! The speciality restaurant Mainland China has also opened their second restaurant there. The whole place is air conditioned.
The South City will have 1700 apartments in 4, 35 floored buildings and expected to open very soon ( the apartments)
This place is surely going to change or standard of living. This place is with in one kilometer from our residence. We took our American VT guest from Long Beach, California, Sonia and her father Prof. M.K.Das to visit this place last Sunday 3rd Feb. We also dined at the latest Mainland China!

The 19th Century Britishers of Calcutta felt they do not have a proper market of their own British gentry in Calcutta. So they should have a proper market just in the style of London markets ( super markets). The then British gentry appealed to The Calcutta Municipal corpn and they ordered East India Railway company to execute a market in 1873. It was given Gothic Architechtural shape by the renowned British architect Mr. R.Bayney. The market was formally opened only for British or white Europeans on 1st January' 1874. All the famous shops and company of London opened their stores here, such as Cuthbertson & Harper and so on. In 1903 it was named after Sir Stuart Hogg, who was then chairman of Calcutta Corporation.
Till the begining of World warII the place remained reserved only for whites, natives or the Bengalies were not allowed. At the end of the war they felt they are loosing grip over the city and then it was opened to local rich & wealthy people. This place is a Landmark in Kolkata city and still remains very popular among the well to do Bengalies despite heat & smell.
The market used to be the first organised supermarket in whole of Asia, with all kinds of shops selling from shoes, dress, vegetables, florist, jewellery, Bakery, Grocery & livestock products. It still remains till date as it was before but looks very dirty , smelly & hot. There is no airconditioning except the shops. One part of New Market was devastated by fire in 1985 then it was rebuilt but this side lacks that old charm.
Since, this is a Heritage place, it should be rebuilt with frontage remaining the same. A little more cleaning of the place will make the place worth spending time.
Now this place also has Simpark an under ground airconditioned parking system, you can leave your car for Rs.30/- an hour.
Almost anything! Try it here what you dont' get is fancy shopping malls or at the next door Grocer ! Be it the chocked drain pipe cleaner or that best quality Lamb Chops cut or your favourite Beef Spare Ribs ! Just give it a try.
