South Mumbai is the old city: the Fort district the British walled, the reclaimed Back Bay at Marine Drive, and the merchant and mill-owner houses on Malabar Hill. It holds the stock exchange, the Reserve Bank, the older clubs, the Parsi and Irani cafes, and the city’s first restaurant of almost every foreign cuisine. Distances here are short enough to walk, which is true of nowhere else in Mumbai.
