New York Café is a reminder that Budapest's grand coffeehouses were once important meeting places for journalists, writers and cultural life.
An ornate café in a growing metropolis
The café opened within the New York Palace at the end of the nineteenth century. Elaborate ceilings, gilding and large mirrors gave it the kind of theatrical interior that made Budapest's café culture famous.
Literary life and later restoration
Coffeehouses became social workplaces where editors and writers exchanged ideas over long afternoons. The palace's story also reflects twentieth-century changes of use and later restoration, which returned the interior to its current lavish appearance.
