New Delhi, India Entertainment, Leisure & Recreation Guide - Art, Culture, Theatres, Clubs, Hip Hangouts...
Entertainment & Leisure
Cultural Centers
Full of cultural centers and art galleries, the cosmopolitan capital always
has something happening on the the fine arts scene. Live music/dance
shows, plays, lectures and seminars and plays are ongoing events. It's
worth checking the calendar at the following places, for they always have something contemporary in
store:
British Council
American Center
India Habitat Centre
Max Mueller Bhawan
Triveni Chamber Theatre
Siri Fort Auditorium
Shri Ram Centre
Cinema Theatres
The better theatres, like PVR Anupam, Priya and Satyam Cineplex, are in
South Delhi and regularly screen Hollywood movies too.
Clubs & Sports
Delhi has sporting facilities to spare, including gyms, tennis courts and billiards tables.
Delhi Golf Club has a beautiful course. All major hotels and clubs
have swimming pools. You can also try out rock climbing at the Lado Sarai adventure park.
Nightlife
Most discotheques are in the luxury hotels. If you are not
staying in that hotel, brace yourself to encounter snooty doormen and dip
deep into your pockets. Except for a few restaurants with watering holes,
most of the city's good bars are also in the five-star hotels.
Hip Hangouts
Trendy markets like Vasant Vihar, Ansals Plaza, South Extension (or, South
Ex in the local parlance) and Greater Kailash (GK) are popular haunts
with both the young and old dressed to kill.
