Places to maybe eat and drink, spend the evening or the afternoon, read a book, work at your laptop, enjoy concerts, nightlife, a movie sometime. Or just hang around with friends. Or make friends. Just go there.
Quite a beautiful hidden courtyard on a busy dusty bleak Bucharest street. With an easy to be missed entrance and quite a labyrinthine way in, it will surprise you with its green backyard crammed between old houses. Not a very elaborate cuisine but very pleasant place for a drink during warm season and the occasional concert or plain-air movie.
