Unicum is a Hungarian herbal bitters, drunk as a digestif and apéritif.
The liqueur is today produced by Zwack according to a secret formula of more than forty herbs, and the drink is aged in oak casks. During the Communist regime in Hungary, the Zwack family lived in exile in New York and Chicago, and Unicum was produced using a different formula. After the fall of communism, Péter Zwack returned to Hungary and resumed the production of the original Unicum.

We loved visiting the Central Market :-)
The 2nd floor is full of little food stalls, serving ... sausages! Slurpp...
It was packed with people, so we promptly squeezed our way through to the shopping area on the same floor.
The Rubik's Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. Originally called the "Magic Cube", the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toys in 1980 and won the German Game of the Year special award for Best Puzzle that year. As of January 2009, 350 million cubes have sold worldwide making it the world's top-selling puzzle game. It is widely considered to be the world's best-selling toy.
