Head to the iconic Prithvi Theatres for an evening of play. Not many places in India these days have theatre culture. Mumbai is one the few known places in India with a rich theatre culture. Famous names like Naseeruddin Shah, Konkona Sen, (Late) Om Puri are associated with Prithvi Theatres. After the play, you can head to the Prithvi Cafe for a bite to eat, and make an evening of it. Last play ends around 11 PM.

You can do these cycling tours either early in the morning or at night. Priced at approximately INR 1000 per tour, the cycle tour will take you on a fun ride around Bandra and Churchgate. For an additional fee, the tour organisers will also provide you with a cycle if you don’t have one of your own. We hear that's a great way to spend a weekend evening in Mumbai.

Food never fails. Street food especially. Food streets are locally called khao gullies and they are the life of Mumbai. Mohammad Ali Road, Juhu Beach, Carter Road in Bandra, Cross Maidan in Churchgate, Malad Link Road, Ghatkopar, are some of the places popular for street food. Most of these places are open till late night. A fun evening of great food followed by some more food for your late night cravings.
