New York Kávéház
This is the complete opposite of Buda's Ruszwurm: absolutely over the top ornate, shiny, dazzling. The New York has been a writer's haven for years -- before World War II writers would often come to "work" first thing in the morning, buy some coffee and write in the café all day until it was time to go home. This café was rammed by a Russian tank in the 1956 Hungarian uprising, and the damage has still not been repaired! The Russians knew what would sting the most: damaging a popular coffee house. A lengthy renovation was completed in 2006 and it's now back in business.
