12 Stores documented
The northern edge of the guide, where Lower Parel stops behaving like a business district and starts behaving like a neighbourhood. Opticians, tailors, provision stores and repair counters sit under hand painted boards, many of them run by the second or third generation of the same family. Rents here are older than the towers, and so are most of the customers.
When to walk it: Best walked mid morning, before the lane fills with delivery carts.
