Parry's Corner

Friends have an appointment to eat here, personally feel that the environment is not bad, the homestay and the restaurant are together, but recently the homestay is not open, the restaurant is still a lot of meals, the price of the meal will be more expensive than other places, but the portion is larger, salmon avocado salad is quite good, It tastes very greasy, and the spaghetti is quite large.

During the colonial period, the area in and around Muthialpet was renamed as George Town by the British in 1911, in honour of King George V when he was crowned as the Emperor of India.[1] George Town is one of the names used for Muthialpet. It has the landmark 'Parry building', after which the locality is called 'Parry's corner'. The area is also called Broadway, named after a main road in Muthialpet.The first settlement of the city of Madras began here, near the fort.

By 1736, a postal system of sorts was in place with a somewhat greater vision. In 1774, a system of charging postage on private letters began.[2] In 1785 and 1786, civilians John Philip Burlton and Thomas Lewin of the East India Company, respectively,
