You will find all the classic favorites (bottomless gulyás pot, lángos, mititei, crepes, kürtÅ‘skalács), and new favorites (Vegetarian gulyás and gulyás with beans - a Hungarian version of chili that comes with beans, sour cream, and paprika.). Check out our merchandise tents with an extended variety of goodies to take home. Jewelry, t-shirts, keychains, sunglasses, bottle openers, fridge magnets, tote bags, shot glasses, beer mugs, aprons, and more will be available for purchase.
