"BTW, do the Hungarians make good sausage, bread and pastries like the Germans?"

Chip,

They make better ones!

Chirimoya,

Call Renata and order it from her. I'm sure they do it for you.
Actually, they have to make it anyway for the Hortobagyi stuffed crepes.

Eddy,

The co-owners are form Florida, but they are also Hungarians.
BTW, How did you like the food?
Ex-hooker bar??

I had no idea. I noticed the Hercules lights, but I thought it was the name of the previous restaurant, haha.

I don't know a good Hungarian rest. in NYC however I do know many excellent and cheap Polish & Ukranian ones which I believe are similar (in the East Village).
Also
I believe Hercules was never a hooker bar. I believe it was meant to be a bar for women and their sankies. (hence the name).

thatnks but no thanks...I find the hungarian cuisine the best in the world ( for my taste ) and actually most of the dishes originate from Transylvania...the goulash & co were Szekely dishes ( a Hungarian ethnic group that today only lives in Transylvania, which today is part of Romania )....

more on the damn deserts, the Gomboc is a killer that I didn't taste for 15 years

Whatever. I never saw any women with sankies there. Just guys looking for pretty girls. They were trying to compete with the big players but didn't have the location. Sorry I missed you on your nights there. A nice beer by the pool with naked girls playing volleyball was fun.

korejdk,

I don't know if they can make kürtős kalács, it requires some equipment.
The best kürtős kalács that I ever had actually was made in Charlotte, NC by a friend of mine who is a professor at the UNCC. He is from Erdély originally, which is the land of the kürtős kalács.

You are right about the lack of a good hungarian restaurant, or a bakery in NYC.
Do you remember the Rigo cukraszda? It was a great bakery. Closed in 1996.

The restaurant in Sosua will fill the void you feel for a good hungarian restaurant. And their somloi galuska is really great!

Erdély vagyok, Vasarhely

Most "turists" bash Sosua for their own various reasons yet this place is really going places...all there's needed now is a proper sushi place
