In the mid-1970s, the Park Street 'razzmatazz' spilled onto Camac Street which is, today, considered to be a high street of Kolkata with many commercial establishments and high-end shopping destinations, with many shopping malls, boutiques, restaurants and stand-alone stores.^[2] It intersects Middleton Street and Shakespeare Sarani, two other important roads in the CBD.
