Do A Brewery Crawl
There’s nothing better than sipping some craft brews by yourself or with your gang of single friends. We’re blessed with so many taprooms and breweries in Pune that you can easily go on a craft beer hop to the best taprooms across town.
If beer is not your favourite ally, then go on a regular bar hop and get drunk and be merry with your singlehood. And, for those who are broke and single, then spend less than INR 1000 in Mundhwa at these bars.

Enjoy Momos At Rassasy Food Truck
There are several food trucks in the city, dishing out interesting grub. There is a Tibetan food truck in Wakad where you can enjoy hot momos coming in 30 types. Rassasy Food Truck is known for its authentic Tibetan food and affordable pricing. This modern food truck has an elaborate menu for momos, which start at just INR 69 and are steamed, gravy, deep-fried, butter-fried, chili, and tandoor. While momos are a must-try here, you can also enjoy authentic veg as well as non-veg thukpa. If you're in a mood to eat a heavy meal, you will love the keema pav and rice bowls. We love the chicken bao as they are simply yummy and wholesome.
Shop For Yourself At Street Markets
Not having a valentine means you get to splurge on yourself. So shop and indulge in a bit of retail therapy. While you could always drop in at your favourite boutique or store, we’d recommend you hit up the streets. In Koregaon Park, you can shop for pretty kolhapuris, embroidered bags and junk jewellery. Or you could go on an accessory spree and go shop for junk jewellery only.
