Description
The market is quite famous for high priced designer stuff and branded clothes. For Delhi's trendy teenagers, this is a great market to visit.
Located on Ring Road, South Extension (known to locals as "SouthEx") is a huge neighborhood in South Delhi and is divided into two parts: South Extension I and South Extension II. South Extension is a good place for tourists to see locals going about their daily activities. As with much of Delhi, it is closed on Mondays. Its busiest day is Sunday. You will also find traditional Indian bhel puri (a must have) stands and shoeshiners. Shoppers can purchase anything from cell phones to books in this upmarket shopping area, but prices are higher than other places.
South Ex I has several stores and restaurants, including: a huge, 3-storied Benetton store, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike, Mehrasons Jewellery Store, Bengali Sweet Market Centre (a restaurant and sweet shop), Teksons and Midland Bookshops, Nalli Saris, Tanishq (exquisite jewelry store), BG's (designer fashion jewelry), Sehgal Bros. (clothing), as well as several other clothing and music stores.
South Ex II has a resto-bar (lounge), a Mehrasons Jewellery Store and several other restaurants. Part II also has some of Delhi's people's organisations like Intercultural Resources.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
