A Nostalgic Guide To The Iconic Park Street In Kolkata

Located near Maidan and Victoria Memorial, Kolkata's famous Park Street is a popular gathering spot for people who enjoy good food, drinks, and music. However, it has lost much of its former glory as a lively nightlife destination in Kolkata. In the past, the street was known as "the street that never sleeps" due to its numerous restaurants and pubs, making it a unique and vibrant destination. Unfortunately, many of these establishments have now closed down. With the arrival of generic mass brands like Nykaa, Hard Rock Cafe, KFC, Starbucks, and others, Park Street has started to resemble any other central street, albeit with some grand old buildings. However, every year, people throng the street during Christmas and New Year, when the Park Street Carnival is held.
