Again, amazing description of a place that has so much to be written about. And the Abhishek Bachan billboard, can't escape from it as it is right in front of your face when you get there...the dhotics have succeeded in creating their own niche market in the land of the brave/free!! BTW, two not so big momo shops have opened around the area too and the price is a bargain as compared to the established Neapli eateries around the area. A nepali owned cell-phone store, 5-6 nepali food places, 2 nepali owned phone card businesses and a Nepali owned video/DVD/CD store...Looks like our first generation immigrants are finally learning to give up the chains that bound them to a regular job and have begun looking into being entrepreneurs themselves. All in all, a great piece of work like always.
