Kálmán from Budapest

About me I've done a variety of things in the past, a good part of them centred on words: poetry, translation, journalism. I have a history of English studies at college, and of a mighty array of knicks and knacks that are not proper jobs. I like hearing stories and telling stories: they're edifices built of facts (or falsehoods, or falsehoods that are truer than facts, as the case might be)...

Arioso Budapest

Tea, furniture & flowers

""Arioso" is a friendly, quiet coffee-, furniture and flower shop in Budapest. I like it because I can sit there for a tea and hot sandwich whenever!"

Arioso is a friendly, quiet coffee-, furniture- and flower shop very close to Deák Ferenc Square. It’s a small, welcoming place where you can sit down in the middle of the day for a tea and a hot sandwich, or maybe a salad, and have some peace away from the rush and crush of the street. If you want to get even farther away from the noise, check out the mellow garden in the backyard, surrounded by the gangways of an old residential house turned into a language school. There are no hard opening times for the garden, it's available whenever the weather is nice.

They also have furniture and other home decoration elements like candelabras for sale, and if you walk a few meters down the street, you’ll find the Arioso flower shop (which is where the photo was taken) with a wide selection of really elegant potted and vase plants, bouquets and the like.

Ιn the style of socialism

"Marxim Pub" in Budapest is a sort of ironic place about Hungary's socialist history. I like its heavy symbolism. They also make their own beer & pizza!

Pizza at the Railway Station

An obligatory stop

The Pizza at Budapest's Keleti Pályaudva Railway Station, next to platform nine,, is not the very best, but I always grab a filling slice when I'm around.
