Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City may not be steeped in history like some of the older neighborhoods in Kolkata, but this new and burgeoning part of the city doesn’t rank any lower in coolness. Home to the area’s rapidly growing IT sector, and a hot spot for the younger urban crowd, Salt Lake is home to some of Kolkata’s best eating and drinking joints, as well as music and dance venues.
