Balkan Cafe takes place once a month on Fridays at Hungarian House, 213 E 82nd St. between 2nd and 3rd Aves, Manhattan.  Lobby phone (for above dates only): 212-650-1974

 Rumor has it the wooden vaulted ceiling was built onto the space as a studio for the niece of Isadora Duncan.  Nowadays you're not too likely to run into Isadora's descendents,  but you can check out the Hungarian oil paintings, pottery and the border-twisting 1851 map of Greater Hungary.  

Doors open at 8 pm, live music begins at 8:30 pm.  There are tables for listening and a dance floor if you choose to move.

Homemade ethnic snacks/light dinner are available.
