If you’re in Mylapore anyway, Luz corner is worth a visit. It may be less popular than it was some years ago, but vendors still stock toys, children’s clothes, trinkets and plastic and household items. Quaint old-timey shops line the roads with amusing but charming names like “Lakhs and Lakhs” and “Millions and Millions”, giving you a taste of an old-world Madras yet to be acquainted with malls and high-end stores.
