If you're bored on a Friday evening in Budapest, you really have no one to blame but yourself. If you live somewhere in the central districts all you have to do is leave the house and most likely in a few hundreds of metres you'll find a bar or a pub. I had been eyeing Cafe Zsivago on Paulay Ede street for weeks as it's on my route home from work. It looked rather Russian oldschool style from outside and once inside- it's even better. They have the compulsory paraphernalia- icons, samovar, different editions of Pasternak's opus and an overall feel of Russian novel interiors plus a rather exciting menu with pirogi, breakfast with champagne (open from 8 am, few places offer decent breakfast for early birds, so it's worth a try) and a mean spicy Dragon tea with milk. Quite surprisingly, they also seem to have rather animated parties come the weekend, and this Friday they are celebrating their second birthday too.
