Disappearing Budapest: Eating between Cities
http://disappearingbudapest.blogspot.com/2014/03/eating-between-cities.html
Monday, 17 March 2014. Attempt the world record for the slowest chewing in culinary history? Linger over the soup until the gobbets of fat congealed into a solid carapace? Sup enough beer until the Dutch courage inspired us to stand up to the waitress who looked as if she could take on the entire Welsh rugby team and come out the winner?

Disappearing Budapest: March 2011
http://disappearingbudapest.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, 5 March 2011. Miksa Róth - genius of stained glass. Walking through the rooms in the apartment where Miksa Róth once lived is a strange experience, as the man who spent his life making stunning stained glass windows and intricate mosaics in a myriad colours, apparently chose to live in surroundings that were entirely in shades of brown. Born in 1865, Miksa Róth was 19 years old when he took over his father Zsigmond’s workshop and the craft of glass painting was still in its infancy. I...This co...

Disappearing Budapest: April 2011
http://disappearingbudapest.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 13 April 2011. 8220;The Genius of Escape who will Startle and Amaze! On 24 March 2011, Budapest could have celebrated the 137th anniversary of the birth of one of its most famous sons, except that few people know that the world’s greatest escapologist, Houdini was Hungarian. Harry Houdini was born Ehrich Weisz in Budapest on March 24, 1874, the third of five children born to Cecilia and her husband Rabbi Mayer Samuel Weisz. When his family moved to New York, a year later, he moved back home.

Disappearing Budapest: The Crowman
http://disappearingbudapest.blogspot.com/2012/03/crowman.html
Wednesday, 14 March 2012. Budapest's Bird Man of Deák tér. First published in The Budapest Sun, October 16, 1997. 8220;Louder, Louder”, orders Pisti Bácsi (Uncle Stevie) and four huge black crows squawk on demand, flapping their jet black wings and creating a terrifying spectacle. Little children giggle nervously and huddle closer to their parents, but they are transfixed, and not only by the birds but by the sweet tiny kittens and mischievous black puppies, dozing in a pile on a deck chair nearby. Every...

Disappearing Budapest: September 2010
http://disappearingbudapest.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Friday, 24 September 2010. Katalin Karády - actress of action. In this age of great cinematic ideas but scarce financial backing, Hungarian film makers often look back with wistful nostalgia to the 1940s - a golden age of Magyar cinema when such charismatic stars as Pál Jávor, Klári Tolnay and Zita Perczel graced the screen. One star who shone particularly brightly was Katalin Karády, a brilliant actress whose life matched many of her roles for drama and intensity. The plaque placed by the local governme...

Disappearing Budapest: Dob utca history
http://disappearingbudapest.blogspot.com/2010/05/dob-utca-history.html
Tuesday, 4 May 2010. Dob utca begins at Károly körút and runs up to Rottenbiller utca along the length of the long narrow seventh district of Erzsebetvaros (Elizabeth Town) which continues up to Dózsa György út and the Városliget - City Park. Within is long and varied length, a microcosm of Hungarian society and history can be found. A wide variety of craftsmen still ply their trade. According to some local historians, the street takes its name from a pub called The Drum, which used to stand on the street.

Disappearing Budapest: June 2011
http://disappearingbudapest.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 19 June 2011. The spring health regime is not complete without a spring wardrobe. Having decided to take up jogging, tennis, healthy eating and Tai Chi, I knew exactly where I could purchase all the required items in the same location and for a very reasonable price too. Budapest’s Józsefvárosi piac is known these days as the Chinese Market, from the large quantities of both goods and vendors that hail from the Far East. It is massive, now the biggest of all Budapest's market places. A grumpy sec...
