The Hungarian Pastry Shop is a legendary cafe on Amsterdam Avenue at 111th St, across from St. John the Divine. It's the closest thing to a Parisian cafe in Morningside Heights. It's owned by the same Greek family that own Symposium and the P and W Sandwich Shop.

The Hungarian is a great place to write a paper and read. The coffee is pretty good and you get free refills, and many of the pastries are delicious. However, the big draw is the atmosphere. Mostly, the place is full of CC students and grad students who hang out for hours on end, huddled over their laptops and books. There aren't many SEAS kids though, probably because there's not enough room to spread out to do problem sets.

The bathroom is noteworthy for being filled with political graffiti of predictable character, although it has been more frequently painted over in recent times.

P and W Sandwich Shop used to be right next door with good though expensive food, until it closed on December 24th, 2011.
