There are two charmingly contradictory aspects to the city of Jammu. 

And you can see both when you're out shopping. For instance, in the crowded street of Raghunath Bazaar, among the age-old dry fruit shops, you'll find yourself suddenly looking at designer boutiques that display the very latest in fashion and fashion accessories. 

Here, the main bazaars - Vir Marg, Raghunath Bazaar and Hari Market - are famous for Kashmiri handicrafts, traditional Dogra jewelry and various dry fruits, chiefly 'Akhrot' (walnuts). 

Jammu is also known for the superlative quality of its Basmati 'rice' Rajma' (Red beans), ' Ampapar' (dried and candied mango peel), 'Anardana' (dried pomegranate seeds) and 'barfis"(milk sweets). 

In Jammu, you can have a good meal in almost any part of the city.The restaurants provide food ganging from the simple to the exotic.Depending upon the mood you are in, you can go in for regular north-Indian food or try some of the Kashmiri delicacies.
