Football tales from Buda
Which team manager from Buda inspired the character of Ede Minarik in the cult film Football of Old Times? Who played football on the site of today's Allee Shopping Centre? How did the BEAC team commemorating the losses of the First World War in the Hadik Kávéház? Who was saved from the wrath of the fans by Frigyes Karinthy? Where was the ancient sport of the English first played on the Buda side of the Danube?
Schedule
Forgotten stories, mythical football figures and secrets related to the Buda pitches will be recalled by Péter Csillag and Tamás Dénes Csillag, the authors of the new book The Football Book of Budapest, at the closing event of the Back Grass Photo Exhibition in the Hadik.
The event is free of charge.
Hadik Café
The Hadik Café was at its peak in the 1910s, when Karinthy, Kosztolányi, Déry, Móricz and Aranka Bőhm regarded the place as their living room. In 2010, the Hadik House was revived in its original splendour with two catering and cultural spaces: the classic Hadik Café, designed to honour the spirit of its great predecessors, and the Szatyor Bar and Gallery, which reinterprets the bohemian world of the turn of the century in a more progressive, contemporary atmosphere. Both places have a strong and quality gastronomy and a cultural profile. The Hadik and the Satoyor are the permanent home of literary evenings, art talks, musical performances and exhibitions, which we hope will revive the long sought-after café and cultural life of which the Hadik was one of the strongest bastions in its heyday.
