Backstreet Bar Boys
On chilly, dark winter evenings in the Hungarian capital it's easy to stay home and stay warm.
But if you're willing to wander around the misty backstreets you can find some friendly hole in the wall joints - the Hungarians call them 'kocsmák' - places where the conversation and the booze flow freely.
I decided to grab a friend and show him one of my favorite bars in Budapest.
