I will be heading up north on a pretty long holiday, centered around Delhi. So I was wondering, could all you Delhites around these parts tell me some stuff that is like, a must-do?

Also, is there anything that is available only in Delhi that is a must-buy?

I know Nehru Place is a must-visit. What else?

Well I donno what u wud be here for, I mean holidays or a tech-break :D so I'd suggest the following, considering it to be the former idea:

1. Do NOT forget C.P. Be it a late evening stroll on a weekend or for shopping, this place rocks.
2. South Ex., combined with Khan Market area are also worth a visit.
3. Do visit old Delhi, be prepared for a lot of maddening rush, and keep ur wallet/cell/expensives safe. Try Paranthe Wali Gali, have some speciality stuff, and later a glass of lassi at Giani's. (I feel that after CP n South Ex, Old Delhi wud be a shock, but still a must!)
4. As u mentioned, Nehru place for tech junkies is a must visit.

5. If you can spare some time, u can visit a lot of other places near Delhi, including the NCR.

Others pls also contribute here. :)
