KOLKATA: Sleepy and quiet corners of the city have suddenly sprung to life with a curious burst of numerous cafes, each distinguished by its own theme and aesthetics, growing to prominence over the course of the pandemic.
Despite the constraints of starting a business in Covid times, the 'neighbourhood cafe' has become the staple of every residential street corner over the last two years.
