Budapest Highlights & Photo Stream

I spent a lovely weekend in Budapest before heading to Croatia. I had visited Budapest back during the Eurotrip in 2005 after graduate school and had loved it then. I definitely had that same feeling this second time around. It was a great way to spend a long weekend. Quick Highlights:

  1. Amazing Dinner at  Borkonyha WineKitchen
  2. Hungarian Cooking Class with Alicja - We made Hortobágyi palacsinta (Crepes with with savory meat, in this case it was Chicken Paprikas [They love them some Paprika in Hungary]) & Apple Cake - Delish. Also memorable was the homemade Apricot Jam we got to try and the market tour before the class.
  3. Checking out the Ruin Pub Szimpla and The Beer Garden in our Neighborhood.

We almost had breakfast at New York Cafe - but, they were charging like thirty bucks for continental breakfast, so we snagged this photo and ran out the back!!
