As of tourist places , completely skip purani Dilli i.e. old one (Jama Masjid , Chandni Chowk , Spice market etc.) & rather visit these on a cooler day - 1. Parliament of India 2. President House 3. Rajpath 4. Rail Museum , Chankyapuri 5. Santushti Arcade , Chanakyapuri 6. National Muesum (contain 1000s years old Harappan artefacts & all) 7. Mahatma Gandhi Memorial (place where Gandhi was murdered , now a museum) 8. Bangla Sahib Gurudwara 9. Jantar Mantar 10. Connaught Place 11. Zoo 12. Humayun Tomb 13. Akshardham Temple 14. Kutub Minar 15. Lotus Temple Kindly note 1-10 falls in the New Delhi zone & so can be covered in a single , large stretch from dawn to dusk or in 2 days . Similarly 11 & 12 simply face each other across the road while 13 a few km from 12 in a straight line . Also besides these places , there are many magnificient malls in Delhi NCR which you can look up online . Lastly , you may prefer to skip places you are not interested in . As of markets , prefer these : 1. Lajpat Nagar 2. GK Market 3. South Extension 4. Khan market 5. Janpath / Connaught Place 6. Karolbagh 7. Rajouri Garden market 8. Sarojini nagar (cheapest of all) Then there are specialised markets like Nehru Place for electronic items . As of food , Delhi is a non-veg heaven but at right places only which again are in hundreds . For eg. Chicken Curry at Rajendar da Dhaba - ff to 6:07 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF8dSeWlLO0&pp=ygURcmFqaW5kZXIgZGEgZGhhYmE%3D Or Butter Chicken at Havemore - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aX5Xe0EbUQ&pp=ygUXaGF2ZW1vcmUgYnV0dGVyIGNoaWNrZW4%3D But again this is subjective so you may find these dishes even better at other places so explore more online or word of mouth . Also there are plenty of non-veg varities than your stereotyped Butter Chicken Curry & Tikka Masala so try them . Try Mutton dishes too . As of veg food , again there are plenty of renowned ones so search online or word of mouth . For eg. the ones I had & recommend are Chholey Bhature & Rajma Chawal at Baba Nagpal corner in Amar Colony or Chur Chur Aloo Naan at Chawla Paharganj etc. And as a word of caution , don't just randomly pick any tom dick harry stall at roadside and never at cheap carts with unhygenic food with run of mill taste or worse . Better search online or word of mouth for renowned places . As of staying , just stay away from Paharganj & rather choose a good Airbnb in Lajpat Nagar , Hauz Khas , Greater Kailash or any good area of Delhi which are in plenty . Or depending on budget , any 3 to 5 star hotel in these areas or Aerocity . Google MMT , Agoda , Tripadvisor etc
