The urban buzz is especially strong in downtown Pest’s District VII, home of the now-world-famous "ruin pub" along with offbeat design stores, specialty street food, and modern-art galleries – but this area is also revered as Budapest’s historic Jewish Quarter, featuring Europe’s biggest synagogue.
There has been a grocery store where Lumen is today since the 1920s, but as the neighborhood changed, the store became empty. Now, a grocery store stands there again, but it houses much more than potatoes and carrots. It is a convertible communal space with an inclusive attitude, holding photography and cinematography close to its heart. It may sound like something made up, but this place has almost as many layers as the onions they sell.
