Very happy to be considered one of New York Citys Most Storied Literary Haunts by Fodors, along with places like McSorleys and Caffe Reggio… wow!! Heres what theyre saying-- HUNGARIAN PASTRY SHOP Where: Morningside Heights To see writers working in their natural habitat, head uptown to the Hungarian Pastry Shop, on Amsterdam Avenue between 110th and 111th Streets. This laid-back café has been popular with literary-minded students, professors, and writers from nearby Columbia University since it opened in the 1960s, and it seems as though the café is a living relic of that time. Its cash-only, has no Wi-Fi or electrical outlets for laptops, and serves old-fashioned pastries and bottomless cups of coffee. The Hungarian Pastry Shop embraces its literary reputation, displaying the book jackets of its regulars framed on the walls. Woody Allen filmed a scene from his 1992 movie Husbands and Wives here. Insider Tip: The bathrooms walls have long been scrawled over with high-minded political and intellectual graffiti. Though it was painted over last year, patrons began leaving new messages immediately. fodors/news/photos/10-of-new-york-citys-most-storied-literary-haunts#!11-hungarian-pastry-shop
