Decided to check out Little India today. It's all lit up this time of year to celebrate Deepavali, a Hindu holiday known as the Festival of Lights, signifying the victory of good over evil in all of us. In between a couple of packed temples lies a gazillion restaurants, outdoor markets, and gold jewelry stores.
Ended up grabbing dinner there: Tandoori chicken, Nan, and Mutton gravy. My face got sweatier as the meal wore on. But was able to wash it all down with a nice 40oz of Tiger beer...yummmm.
The women are all dressed up nice in very colorful gear, while the men schlep around in half-tucked-in shirts. The neighborhood is crowded, dirty and loud...felt like I was back in NYC.
