• Peppers (mixed) UTOPIA VERIFIED JUL 2012
  Chanakya Lane at the Grand Forte (near the site of the now demolished Chanakya Cinema, towards the end of the road), Chanakyapuri, Utopia Map, 2687-8320. Formerly called Pegs N Pints, a long-running place to meet people from the gay community. Small disco on two levels with a gay party every Tues night. G/F with bar stools is noisy, but good for people who like to dance and hook up. Upper level with sofas is better to socialize. Fun, nice people, lots of couples, easy to chat. Gets packed after 11pm. Most of the patrons are locals, with some expatriates mingling in.

• Jheel Park UTOPIA VISITED JUL 2012
  Dhaula Kuan Metro Station (exit and walk east to the bus stop), Utopia Map. The park, in the vicinity of the Dhaula Kuan bus stop, is super active in the afternoons (it is not safe at night) with hundreds of men of all ages who, waiting for their bus connections (sometimes for hours), wander around the park looking for connections (which happen almost instantly as you enter the park). The term MSM was seemingly coined to describe this scene.
• Nehru Park UTOPIA VISITED JUL 2012
  Chankyapuri, Utopia Map. At the corner which is closest to the Ashok Hotel Convention Hall entrance. Favorite cruising spot (particularly on Sun evenings), although be cautious and make sure you don't carry valuables. Peak hours are 6-8pm.
• New Delhi Station
  Outdoor facility towards the Pahar Ganj side, Utopia Map. Very cruisy day and night, all ages, professionals and working class. Be aware of roaming authorities. If you arrive by Metro, get out at the Delhi Station gate (not Ajmeri). Enter the stairs via the security. Ascend the long and elevated gangway/passenger distributor where you may traverse all platforms below. At the last, Platform 1, do not descend onto the platform, descend in front and exit via the next security in front. Exit the Delhi railway station, on the right, you will see the red and blue sign for Railway Protection Force Post, New Delhi. The facility is directly opposite the sign, towards the right, and shielded by brickworks.

• Rara Avis (homemade French country cuisine) UTOPIA VISITED JUL 2012
  2/F, M27 M Block Market, Greater Kailash II, Utopia Map, reservations: 981-123-2992, 880-268-7425. This "rare bird" is a superb, gay-friendly bistro by bon vivant Jerome and his partner Laurent. With an inventive, relaxed interior and rooftop terrace overlooking a pretty park, plus very reasonable prices, this is one of Delhi's best casual fine dining experiences. Using only the freshest local produce and most authentic imported ingredients, Jerome has evoked the simple and flavor-rich home cooked cuisine of three generations of his restaurateur family. Everything is made with love, from bread crusts to deserts. Favorites range from garlicky escargot, herb and cheese tarts, and gooey-good onion soup to simply prepared meat and fish sourced from local farms or flown in daily. Excellent, attentive (and handsome) service staff. Fine wines, aperitifs, cocktails and unique beers. The grapefruit sorbet served in a shot of Jerome's home town liquer is just one of many superlatives on the menu. Open nightly for dinner and Tue-Sun for lunch.
