Graben (Vienna, Austria)

Crowded with tourists
They came from so far away
To eat McDonalds.

Rosenberger Marktrestaurant (Vienna, Austria)

Hungry, so we stopped
Cafeteria with kitsch
Wein Cracker Barrel.

Le Meridien Hotel (Vienna, Austria)

Fancy and upscale
Free drinks, soft bed, great staff
Toilet could be stronger.

Cafe Kor (Budapest, Hungary)

Wine, beer, cheese, bread, soup
Steak, salad, duck, and pastry
All for fifty bucks!

Taxi Cabs (Budapest, Hungary)

Cabs are cheap and fast
Do not hail one off the street
Kidnapping ensues.

Szimpla Kert (Budapest, Hungary)

Lots of young people
Both cool and bohemian
Eat it, Joe Stalin

House of Terror (Budapest, Hungary)

Scary, well done look
At World War II and Commies
Glad I'm from the States.

Cari Mamma (Budapest, Hungary)

If your mom could make
Pizza that tastes this awesome
You would visit more.

Jewish Quarter (Budapest, Hungary)

Used to be ghetto
Now some quiet tree-lined streets
And kosher butchers.

Hungarian Jewish Museum (Budapest, Hungary)

Treasures from our past
Make me proud to be a Jew
And then, the Holocaust.

The Great Synagogue (Budapest, Hungary)

Fabulous design
Ornate, striking, impressive
Take that, old churches!
