MUMBAI
Restaurant
Looks
like the newly opened Rewind restaurant in Mumbai takes it location opposite
a popular cinema very seriously-this Sarovar Park Plaza-owned 52-cover
eatery is designed totally around the Hollywood theme. So, you have an
entire wall with pictures of Hollywood stars and another crammed with
movie posters. Food is a choice between Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Austrian,
and Thai. (Try their Polish-style Roasted Pizza.) On Wednesday evening
you can catch Jazzy Joe, who claims to have played for US President Bill
Clinton. Meal for two: Rs 600 (without alcohol). Call (022) 207-7575.
CHENNAI
Store
Love
pricey bric-a-brac? Lladro (pronounced Yaadro), specialising in intricately
carved porcelain figurines, is now available at Swarovski in Chennai.
Coming straight from the kilns of Almacera, Spain, the figurines are available
in 4,000 different styles. They also have something special for India:
Indian kids on elephants. And don't worry if the quaint "Tea in the
Garden" piece costs Rs 3.18 lakh-insurance is available. Call (044)
824-2376.
DELHI
Music
To
celebrate its 25th anniversary, India Today is bringing a host of classical
