Park Street Kolkata

Getting around: In central Kolkata, directly served by the Park Street metro station.
Hours: Open access as a street; individual restaurants, bars, and shops keep their own hours, generally into the late evening.

Park Street is Kolkata's best-known dining and nightlife strip, lined with restaurants, bars, and cafes reflecting the city's colonial-era cosmopolitan character, along with notable Christmas-season decorations that draw crowds each December. It's less a single sight than an area to spend an evening in, sampling Kolkata's food scene, from old-school Anglo-Indian institutions to newer restaurants.

It's especially lively during the Christmas and New Year period, when the street is decorated and busy with visitors, but it's a solid choice for an evening out year-round given the concentration of dining options.
