PARTY

HIT THE HIGH NOTES Pubs, lounge bars, resto bars...

Atypical Coimbatorean is as much at home with Mexican cuisine as he is with his rice-rasam. He is equally at ease in a ‘veshti’ (dhoti) from the pavement store as he is in an imported Armani suit. And so is the expatriate who has made the city his home. If you see a south Indian fast food joint sitting cheek by jowl with a hip Italian restaurant or a Reebok and Hidesign showroom sharing the same street with Himalaya Drug Co and Titan, you know it’s a city with a healthy blend of the East and West. The city’s accommodating nature is also one reason why there are so many watering holes in the city. Party!
