Eight literary cafes all over the world
A steaming cup of coffee can sometimes not only "warm" people's hearts, but also inspire people. It is said that the brilliant ideas of many Nobel laureates benefit from that strong cup of coffee. So where are the cafes that scholars and calligraphers like to patronize?
1. Fesavi Cafe (El Fishawy Coffee Shop)
Location: Cairo, Egypt
Savi Cafe is located in the labyrinth of the ancient bazaar-Khan Hariri Fair (Khan el KhalilBazaar). For two centuries, this "smoky" cafe has been a favorite resting place for literati. Under the staggered arches, tin lamps glowed dim, guests sat around small round tables with rickety brass faces, cups full of Mint Tea or plain coffee were steaming, and Arab hookahs smelled of apricot tobacco, which inspired Nobel laureate Najib Naguib Mahfouz.
two。 Central Cafe (Central Kavehaz, Hungary)
Venue: Budapest, Hungary
Since its inception in 1887, the Central Cafe has been the cultural center of Budapest (except for the days when the owner became a chili market, disco and amusement center). Its elegant posture is like a white lotus in a bog in Budapest. Since the beginning of the 20th century, countless celebrities have been associated with the Central Cafe, such as Hungarian celebrities Jozsef Kiss, Mihaly Babits and poet Geza Gyni. To this day, writers still like to come to this cafe, reading a book under the light of a brass chandelier, tasting a cappuccino filled with thick milk bubbles, and tasting a delicate dessert, such as cherry yogurt cake.
3. Greek Cafe (Antico Caff Greco)
Venue: Rome, Italy
The Greek Cafe is located on Condotti Avenue near the Piazza de Spain. its unique marble tables, sofa seats and waiters in tuxedos all give the illusion of going back in time, as if it were back in the 1860s. For decades, Greek cafes have been a must for holidays in Rome, and its delicious caramel macchiato is always haunting. Goethe, Byron, Berlioz, Dickens, Keats and Mark Twain all spent a lot of time in Rome's oldest cafe. Why are you hesitating?
4. Central Cafe (Caf Central)
If you want to have an ideological revolution? Then come to the Central Cafe. It was in this cafe that the famous Russian Marxists Vladimir Lenin and Leo Trotsky established the direction of their future struggle. The Central Cafe is a circular vaulted building, and as the main gathering place in Vienna, many Austrian celebrities used to be regulars of the cafe. From Freud to the architect Adolf Ruth to the modern poet Peter Ettenberg, a simple cup of coffee and a thin-skinned apple roll can give them unexpected inspiration. Although the cafe opened in 1876, it is still shining today. The lobby is decorated with gilded columns and pastry cabinets display exquisite desserts, including Linzer cakes, Esterhazy cakes, sand rack cakes.
5. Tony Cafe (Caf Tortoni)
Venue: Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Totoni Cafe was founded by a Frenchman in 1858. As the oldest coffee shop in Argentina, this cafe has always been a perfect stage for the integration of Parisian aesthetics and Argentine intellectualism. The Totoni Cafe poured into the Frenchman's deep yearning for his hometown cafe: Amber pillars supported the ceiling overhead, walls inlaid with stained glass, and marble tables in the room. Buenos Aires writer Borges often stays here, and Albert Einstein visited and tasted Alfajores (a sandwich biscuit) from the cafe. When night falls, there will also be impromptu jazz, tango or poetry readings in the cafe.
6. Prokop Cafe (Le Procope)
Venue: Paris, France
Prokop Cafe, located at 13 St. Germain Street on the left bank of the Seine, opened in 1686 and is the oldest coffee shop in Paris, France. Many writers in history are die-hard fans of the cafe, including the early Voltaire, Ben Franklin, Hugo and 20th-century writers Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone Beaufort and Albert Camus. Many cafes in the sixth County of Paris, including Ernest Hemingway's double Old Cafe (Les Deux Magots) and Apolinel's Lilac Garden Cafe (La Closerie des Lilas), are affected by the Prokop Cafe.
7. Long Bar Cafe (Long Bar)
Venue: Raffles Singapore
Ceiling fans, rattan chairs and candy-colored cocktails, the long Bar Cafe has a different colonial style. In 1910, bartender Yan Chongwen made the world-famous "Singapore Commander" cocktail with gin, cherry brandy and fresh pineapple juice in the long Bar Cafe of Raffles Hotel. But what makes the cafe more famous are the celebrity writers who have stayed. Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Maugham all sat idle at the low tables of the long bar, stealing a leisurely midday plot.
8. University Street Cafe
Venue: Calcutta, India
University Street Cafe is not far from the University of Calcutta. Writers, artists and scholars of all ages like to talk loudly in the dense fragrance of this cafe, and many political and cultural movements are sprouting from here. The austere coffee shop opened in 1942 and many celebrities were its customers, such as Bengal Renaissance giant Tagore, film guru Sayegi Trey and singer Manna Dey. The coffee shop serves many kinds of coffee and is a favorite gathering place for college students.
