Having surpassed its sibling Mumbai in the number of
millionaire residents who call it home, New Delhi is celebrating its
economic rise with gusto. It’s even added speed to its notoriously
creaky infrastructure. Delhi’s new metro system,
currently in its latest stage of expansion to the Outer Ring Road,
provides a smooth yet surreal ride from the dense cacophony of the
ancient Mughal bazaars to the hypermodern mega-malls of the grassy
suburbs. Immaculate, cheap and air-conditioned, the metro might be the
most ambitious construction since India won its independence. And there
are lots of new places to visit: cutting-edge galleries like Latitude 28 and Gallery Threshold in the emerging Lado Sarai arts district, and new restaurants like Varq and Indian Accent, which are expanding the horizons of nouvelle Indian cuisine. Setting new standards for dramatic design, hotels like the Aman, Oberoi and Leela have all recently opened strikingly original and competing visions of living in style in a city that suddenly exudes a lot of it.
