It is official. A wave of young students, IT professionals, families, and lounging friends are reclaiming the streets at night. And the twinkling lights of the thriving food hubs that cater to them now beckon travellers and passers by as well.
Eleven pm is when business starts for the several food streets in Chennai. Besides catering to the population that steps out on a whim, wading through greasy fries and chicken after a night out, Chennai’s food streets, courts and squares are becoming popular hangouts, providing an array of options including popcorn, cubano sandwiches and high-end teas.
Kathipara Urban Square sees about 5,000 walk-ins on a weekday and double that during weekends. Anna Nagar’s Kora Food Street, on the other hand, has at least 3,000 people sauntering in as the sky dims. Join us as we do a food stall hop though the night.
