Each bunco party is as different as the women playing it. Most parties rotate hosting duties and all include food, but the fare can run from a lavish meal complete with china and linen to a potluck buffet. Some adopt a theme for each month's meeting, like a haunted house with all the players wearing Halloween costumes...

...fact, hotels are just about the only place that will serve up good international fare. But if you're itching to go stand-alone, New Delhi boasts two independent Italian bistros: Senso in Vasant Vihar and Diva in Greater Kailash II. At both eateries, the d?cor is stylish, the food so so and the music dreadful. But, hey, this is New Delhi, and one out of three isn't that...
