RIP: Iris Zwack - Novelist & Promoter of Hungarian Modern Art
- 2 Aug 2016 12:00 PM
Iris Masters Zwack has spent her entire adult life living out of a suitcase. From the age of 15, when she moved to Italy to be with her Hungarian father and his wife, Anne when all hell broke loose in terms of travel. She has lived in many cities for long periods of time. From Chicago to New York City, to Florence, then Rome, Boston, Seattle and most importantly Budapest, which she started ...
Uniquely Hungary: Restaurant Gundel's Good Old Magic, By Anne Zwack
- 3 May 2016 9:00 AM
- food & drink
When I made my first fleeting visit to Budapest in 1975, the Gundel Restaurant was a burnt out husk: the grandiose old restaurant which took its name from Károly Gundel in 1910 had been destroyed by fire. The next time was in the late eighties when the restaurant had been rebuilt and redecorated according to the criteria of the Soviet era in fifty shades of brown. Gaggles of waiters loitered in ...
Uniquely Hungary: Árpád Göncz, A Man With Three Hums, By Anne Zwack
- 29 Oct 2015 12:45 AM
- community & culture
I read somewhere that everyone should have three Hums: Humanity, Humour and Humility. And President Göncz had all three in spades, although his most endearing quality was his humility.
Uniquely Hungary: Retro Coffee Houses, Bars & 'Cukraszdas' In Budapest
- 10 Sep 2015 1:22 AM
- food & drink
By Anne Zwack: Budapest has evolved so much over the last 25 years as to make many of its features almost unrecognizable and few coffee houses from the previous eras have lived to tell the tale. There is, of course, Gerbeaud while Ruszwurm on the Castle Hill has remained almost exactly the same as it was when my husband was taken there eighty years ago as a treat if he got a good report at school.
'Wine & Music Picnic', Etyek, 5 - 6 September
- 3 Sep 2015 1:14 AM
- food & drink
By We Love Budapest: Rolling vine-covered hills and valleys envelop the picturesque village of Etyek, a rustic community found just 30 kilometers west of Budapest’s city center. This increasingly popular Hungarian wine region hosts seasonal picnics four times a year, and during this weekend’s autumn event, several stone wine cellars ...
Uniquely Hungary: The Budapest Festival Orchestra, By Anne Zwack
- 30 Jul 2015 10:30 AM
- community & culture
If asked what is the most famous Hungarian export one might mumble about salami and paprika and foie gras and then look vague. Meanwhile, I wonder how many people know on the other hand that the Budapest Festival Orchestra today is bringing the best of Hungary all over the world.
Uniquely Hungary: Help Others By Recycling Your Jeans, By Anne Zwack
- 30 Apr 2015 1:40 AM
- community & culture
Even for someone as unversed in fashion as I am, it has not escaped my attention that denim is the hot item this year. Every leading designer worth his salty prices has come out with a new angle on denim and jeans, including Christopher Kane who embroiders them with what look like matyo flowers.
