Go Mumbai: Restaurant
Oriental Odyssey
, a wedge-shaped Chinese eatery near the Bombay Stock Exchange, has some really good starters -- especially the crackling spinach and golden honey baby corn. There's also a rather innovative take on the non-veg side in the form of crab toast with nuts and the sugarcane chicken. But the entrees, with the exception of the seafood, are just about average. A meal for a couple including drinks averages Rs 450. There's also a special executive lunch (soup, two main dishes, rice or noodles, dessert and a glass of beer) for Rs 180. Telephone: (022) 2625533, 2626888.

Helpline
In an effort to combat the isolation that they face, Aanchal -- a helpline for lesbians in Mumbai -- offers a listening ear to women facing problems arising out of their sexual orientation. Call (022) 3704709 between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturdays and there will be three counsellors waiting at the other end. Aanchal is the first of its kind in the city. Further face-to-face counselling is offered to interested callers.
