The Sun may have started its journey to the Northern hemisphere after Lohri, but the moon continues to throw its soothing moonlight all over, beckoning us to enjoy the chilly, winter nights. Delhi is a city that never stops buzzing and its people will look for any reason to celebrate. And why not? The year has just begun- it is still fresh, crisp and positivity rings in the air. After Lohri and Makar Sankranti, why don’t we get out an experience a different kind of cuisine? Something that will take you near the sea and experience some mouthwatering seafood. Here are three places in Delhi to go to this weekend.
