Biographie de Steve Fallon
Steve Fallon, who has written every edition of Budapest, first
visited the Hungarian capital in the early 1980s by chance,
he'd stopped off on his way to Poland (then under martial law)
to buy bananas for his friends and their children. It was a brief
visit but he immediately fell in love with thermal baths. Tokaj
wine and bableves (bean soup). Not able to survive on the
occasional fleeting fix, he moved to Budapest in 1992 so he
could enjoy all three in abundance and magyarul (in
Hungarian).
Now based in London, Steve returns to Hungary
regularly for all these things and more: pâlinka (brandy). art
nouveau, the haunting voice of Màrta Sebestyén and the best
nightlife in Central Europe.
