If you’re really out of things to do, you can always watch other people have fun. Marine Drive has regular sightings of bike races as a part of Mumbai nightlife that are exciting to watch. Though stupid on their side, watching it is the safest activity to do.

45) Have midnight buffet at 5 stars

Hunger pangs can hit anytime. And hogging with a bit of class never hurt anyone. Orchid in Vile Parle East, Sofitel in BKC, and The Bayview at Marine Drive are places that serve mouth-watering buffets at midnight.

46)  Eat at Mohammad Ali road

Mohammad Ali road has some delicious and filling cheap shawarmas that are worth traveling for. Not included in the list of eateries since this is a place you wouldn’t need to plan a visit to, you just show up.
