Finally, we ended our visit at "Latitude 28." After book shopping, we really just wanted a simple coffee and maybe a dessert. We tried three places but found them crowded or not worth the money (this is Khan Market after all). We decided to try a place nether of us have tried. This quiet restaurant is at the top floor of a home goods store. Quiet, pretty, and with decent coffee, it was the perfect way to end our day!

Our next stop is one of of the best places in Delhi - Fakir Chand Bookstore. This is a very, very special place and we could probably do a dozen posts on it. The store was started originally in Peshawar and moved to Delhi after partition. It is small, crowded with no discernable organization system. The owner of the shop is the third-generation of the family to own it. You could get lost here!

We had a strong Irani chai, a Bombay Sandwich (in @seanbala's opinion, one of the greatest culinary gifts to mankind) and a raspberry soda.
An Irani Chai is like a normal Indian chai but made much stronger.
The Bombay Sandwich is a thick grilled vegetable sandwich with very thinly sliced beets, potatoes, cucumbers, and tomatoes, all sprinkled with a big helping of cheese. Difficult to make, impossible not to eat!

Our first stop was Sodabottleopenerwalla - a loving, playful homage to the Parsi cafes of Mumbai. The Parsis are a Zoroastrian community that came to India in the 16th century. Centered mainly in Mumbai, this small community has punched well above its weight. One business that many of them started were cafes the feature unique Indian and Iranian dishes.
As you can see from the sign, the restaurant has a unique sense of humor.

A few days after arriving, we took a trip to Khan Market. Khan Market in Central Delhi is a tiny area of boutique shops, restaurants, and bars. It is one of a handful of places that you'll see a lot of expats in Delhi. It is considered India's most expensive retail market (in terms of real estate cost). We sometimes feel a little silly but we have many, many fond memories of Khan and we had to go. A few highlights from the visit:
