I don't like that sweet much. Lol. Since you are staying at the Ritz, just go up St.Marks road to this place called KC Das. Legendary North East Indian dessert shop. Try his Rasgulla (or Rossogolla) or Ras Kadam. They are milk/cottage cheese based desserts and are really famous. They even have a Wiki page.

Best shops on commercial street?

What are you looking to shop? There is a famous jewelry store there called Krishnaiah Chetty and a sweet/chaat shop called Bhagatrams

Looking to mostly get gifts for people and something for myself, probably sone figurines, jewelry, and things made of fabric. Not enough time to really do much sight seeing

Eat Indian cuisine. In Bangalore, ITC Windsor (SPG Luxury Collection - 5 star) has the best North Indian/Mughlai restaurants in town. Try Royal Afghan or Dum Pukht. But I would do South Indian primarily. Try a dosa in CTR in Malleswaram or go to MTR and have their Thali (Meals). The 2 are local - so stick to bottled water but ITC also has another restaurant called Dakshin. Not many sightseeing things in Bangalore. Iskcon is something you can do if you are into fancy temples.

However if you are staying over any weekend and can travel, I would do a tiger sanctuary in Bandipur or Google Chikmagalur Coffee Estates. Try the Serai in Bandipur or Chikmagalur

@OP, wouldn't recommend commercial street - try Fab India or Anokhi

Wooden figures - handicraft store on MG Road. Forgot the name. Just google it.

Also, do try Indian pizza at either Dominos or Pizza Hut. They are of higher quality and standard than their parents in US

@KPMG thank you!

@KPMv do you know what those sweets made of cashew with like silver foil on top of them are called?

I guess I would just extend my stay at the hotel if required, does anyone know if that's an acceptable answer if asked by border control?

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
