#338 - 36 types of pizza to choose from

View larger

.

Haven't had a meal at Venezia for a while now, simply because pizzas are not high on my craving list plus I prefer to make my own tiramisu . But the place is definitely worthy of a visit, especially since yesterday we discovered their very erős (spicy) pepperoni pizza, very satisfying for my personal tastebuds..for that I have an excuse to call for a delivery or visit them more often. So the question of the day - do you have a fave. pizza place?

Venezia Pizzéria
12-14, Szent Imre Herceg Street

oh, forgot to mention that the wonderful murals were commissioned by local art studio Holt pont. Also, my personal model asked to clarify that is not him in the photo but a customer ;)

Taken a seat?

Are you comfortable in your seats? (refers to yesterday's photo) okay..close your eyes and take some time off to enjoy the peace and quiet or
you can walk about... straight out of those glass doors, on your left, you'll find a stage where most of the open-air concerts, choir, musical performances usually takes place.

While on a normal afternoon/evening, it is mainly populated with teenagers/kids practising bmx-stunts /chating ...basically just to hang out after school.

Two to tango

Love the retro aspect of these seats. Although they might have been there before the comeback of retro style. Look at it, its in perfect condition and I quite fancy it in my home.
.
The place functions as culture centre utilised mainly for dance, musical training and etc. Strange for me is why only two seats are arranged in this spacious area and not more?
.
Tomorrow I'll show the view from these seats.

Panoráma Café @ 5, Kossuth Square Street

My interest for café business started after having worked part time in a restaurant and later for f&b chain. There's no denying that it is no easy task to run a food outlet. Details like ambience, menu selection , which coffee beans to use, cost control bla bla bla ; however, I would still love to be able to have my own café in the future. In the meantime, I guess sitting in a café day dreaming about it is good enough for me.

FYI - locally, hamburger bars, pizzerias, bakeries are especially popular with the customers.

A room with a view

No spectacular view.........taken from 3rd floor of the library. Haven't been on this floor.
Judging by the AV equipment stored in this room, this could be the media room (noone is there to verify). Perhaps this is where they screen alternative films organised by the film club. Will find out soon..

Peeping

We often pass by the St. Anna Roman Catholic Church, this time I thought we'd ask permission to photograph the inside. But no one was to be seen. However, the organ was playing, listening to the tunes, even though from the outside really give a sense of peace...
Enjoy your weekend everyone !

some facts
The church was est 1842
The organ was made in 1889

Fellow enthusiasts

On Tuesday, I had the chance to view some of the photography works by fellow Szentesi* held at the cultural centre (cafeteria room). I have to say, am thoroughly impressed with the high quality of photos shown at the exhibition, organised by Szentes Photo Club**.

To view their on-line gallery, click here

FYI :-
*Szentesi = people of Szentes

**Szentes Photo Club was founded by 5 amateur photographers in 1974.
Upon formation, they started to meet every Monday because there were no interesting tv programmes on Mondays :D . Til today, they continue to share new techniques and experiences. They accept 1-2 new members every year.

DP Theme : Parking.......FREE!

Can you believe it?! Apparently, our town is so small that parking charges are not applicable! I didnt know about it until yesterday (we do not drive within the town) ..hahahha..lucky us!
Here's a photo of Hamburger Bar (name of bar) where I had my cappucinno after my search for parking metres. This is where the teenagers like to have their lunch 'cos they serve huge hamburgers .

FYI, I did find some general info. on parking in Hungary, read here ..you can even pay parking fees via sms !

Get entertained

When entering the József Tóth theatre, I told myself to try to look for a comtemporary side of this 107 year-old theatre. Did I managed to get that angle? From the outside, this 500-seats theatre look quite run-down. Good thing is the interior is well maintained. I would say the current fixtures were renewed in the early 80's. Well, its still a good place to get entertained :)

Your feed back appreciated :-)
Did it take long for you to download this page?

Simple pleasure

I don't buy local magazines as I couldn't read Hungarian (yet!). Still, I love to cruise through the colourful magazine pages to get updated with trends, etc. The best placeto do so, of course, is at the town's library. You may see the exterior here (yup, that's me in the photo).

The extensive display you see above is renewed every month . Mostly elders visit the library in the morning to read the local dailies. It's also good place to enjoy the morning sun through those windows :)

Old time charm

Ice-cream craze has hit the town ! Since the queue at THE popular ice-cream parlour was too long, we decided to check out this café . Great ! No queue at all ! ....no wonder , 'cos they are selling "Walls" ice-cream and not those flavour- of- your-choice type, any name for that?

Some intro. of the café :- Petöfi Café/Confectionery . I've never set foot in the shop although I've tasted their delightful cakes before. They offer a varieties of freshly baked cakes. Well, I just love the old-school atmosphere (41 years old) . Will definitely be visiting more of this place :)
