Entertainment and recreation is not that hard to find in the largest metropolitan city of India. Kolkata boasts about film, music, art, dance, bars and discos that are scattered throughout the city. The city has been a great influence to the traditional media and its development. Hundreds of theatres and bands have sprouted in the region. Under the metropolis flagship the publishing industry has reached new heights. There are some stupendous libraries in the city with great collections. Dance and theatre have been going hand in hand. And to add all this the modern entertainment media and the results would be stunning.

Theatres have an audience that usually are from older age groups. Plays and cultural shows are organized at many places in the city and this provides an ample opportunities for these elderly people and the art lovers. The city is specially mentioned when it is about Indian Classical music or theatre. The city has harbored some greatest talents from Indian music. At Rabindra Sadan many such shows are organized and one can easily avail a chance of watching these events there. The theatres and stage shows are further complimented by cinemas. Scores of cinema halls are grounded in the city.

Dining out is the next good thing one can stumble upon. The city is dotted with restaurants and the food served is really good. Restaurants and coffee shops seems to have set their foot in traditional Kolkata.

Discotheques, pubs and bars located in the city makes the night more beautiful especially for the youth. The disc floors rock and rumble till early morning and the glass will never be empty except on Thursdays. Thursday is the dry day of the week but some star hotels provide the drink even on Thursdays.
