Local Tips from Mumbaikars
"Skip Marine Drive on Valentine's Day evening — it's chaos. Go for the morning walk instead. For sunset, try Worli Seaface — less crowded, equally beautiful."
— Neha, 28, Bandra
"The best Valentine's dinner I ever had was ordering pizza, buying Wine from Nature's Basket, and sitting on my Versova building terrace. Sometimes the city itself is the date."
— Arjun, 31, Andheri
"Crawford Market flowers + fairy lights from Lamington Road + cooking together at home = better than any ₹10,000 dinner."
— Priya, 25, Dadar
