Budapest New York Cafe: the most beautiful cafe in the world

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

Some say Budapest is cold, some say Budapest is elegant, some say Budapest is quiet, others say everything in Budapest can be condensed into a cup of coffee.

The Boscolo Hotel on the Elizabeth Ring Road in the seventh district of the city is probably the real Budapest Hotel, but it had another name New York Palace 100 years ago, and there is a "most beautiful cafe in the world" on the ground floor of the building.

The coffee shop was opened in 1894. It is said that the real owner of the coffee shop was an European aristocratic gentleman. Because he liked European literature and art very much, he often met with the literati in Budapest at that time to talk about literature and art. Later, I wanted to make more like-minded friends, so I set up this cafe.

The Italian crystal grape chandelier inside the cafe and the murals by the famous painter Roz Karoly are as gorgeous as a palace, so they are called "the most beautiful cafe in the world". Lisa said the boss reportedly threw the keys to the store into the Danube on the first day of opening and promised that the coffee shop would never be closed and would always provide free paper and pens to artists in need (impoverished artists).

New York Cafe

The cafe opened in 1894 as part of the New York Life Insurance Building, so it was named New York Cafe.

The devil sculpture holding the torch at the door, the Italian crystal grape branch chandelier, the top painting by the famous painter Roz Karoly, the hall hundreds of meters up and down, golden and brilliant, full of elegant and elegant marble pillars, smallpox is all decorated with gold lacquer relief, painted murals and crystal lamps, authentic retro furniture, the integration of Italian Renaissance and baroque decoration tells of the prosperity and luxury of that year.

At that time, the hall was a collection of painters, poets and musicians from all over Europe. Without money, you can exchange a manuscript for a cup of coffee, which are still collected by cafes. Legend has it that the boss threw the key to the door into the Danube, declaring that New York Cafe, a symbol of artistic inspiration, would never close.

However, with the outbreak of the first World War and the ensuing Great Depression, the cafes were no longer what they used to be, and the ashtrays on the table were marked "No matter current affairs, just for entertainment." After World War II gunfire in Budapest, the New York Cafe closed in 1947 and did not open again until half a century later.

New York cafes can directly walk in, but when there are more tourists, they need to queue at the door, ranging from 15 to 45 minutes, so it's best to make an appointment in advance.

Cappuccino

Although it is called Cafe, there is everything on the menu except coffee, steak salad, salmon, hamburger cake ice cream. Just after lunch before we came, we ordered two cappuccinos with a signature afternoon tea set.

However, this flower pulling is too casual.
