Xpat Review: Baby Blue Banana Comedy In Budapest
- 16 Sep 2010 7:35 AM
- entertainment
"BBB brought yet another huge stand-up comedy name to the stage this Tuesday night. The show was ably MC-ed by English comedian Dave Thompson who has himself headlined several times in Budapest. Dave did a good job warming up the crowd for headliner Jim Tavaré. I have found opening act Miklos Galla (famous in Hungary for translating Monty Python's Flying Circus into Hungarian) decidedly unfunny ...
Xpat Review: Italian Restaurant Dazzles In Buda
- 9 Sep 2010 8:35 AM
- food & drink
I must admit I don’t eat in Buda too often. I find so much variety and enjoyment in the restaurants in Pest. Recently, however, I was invited for dinner at the newly-opened Alessio Italian restaurant at Pasaréti út 55. And it was a very nice surprise.

"Sunday afternoon I finally went to the horse races at Kincsem Park in Budapest. This venue was built in 1925, and named after the horse Kincsem that won 54 races in the 1870's. It is very easy to get to - just take Metro 2 to the Pillango Ut stop. Go around the station through the tunnel and then follow the path along the white railings (bear left). Amazingly, entry is free and refreshments are ...

Sinatra Piano Bar Review: Budapest Does It My Way?
- 25 Mar 2010 1:00 AM
- entertainment
When I first saw the sign for the Sinatra Piano Bar, while walking along the Belgrád Rakpart near Fővám Tér, I was overjoyed. A real, live piano bar in Budapest, and about time, too. I couldn’t wait to check it out when it opened at 10 PM. I could just imagine it: a dimly-lit funky little place, a tinkling piano in the corner, a glass of smooth whiskey and all the old standards that Frankie used ...
