$\"When$ <\/a>
Sure to keep vampires and close talking strangers at bay.<\/p><\/div>\n
Part of the origins of the vampire myth in Romania stem from the Romanian’s abundant use of garlic in their food, and that’s never a bad thing.\u00a0 Like many cities, Bucharest is experiencing a resurgence in popularity of what was once brushed off as “peasant food.”\u00a0 The comfort foods your grandmother used to make that are far more embedded in the culture of a place than the fast foods or fusions we’ve become accustomed to all over the world.\u00a0 And yes, there are still Romanian grandmothers espousing the more metaphysical benefits of garlic, but who’s going to argue when it taste so good!<\/p>\n
$\"Momite-$ <\/a>
Momite- the neck glands of a pig minced, mixed with spices, and deep fried… basically Romanian Boudin Balls<\/p><\/div>\n
Of course in a city the size of Bucharest, you’ll find every imaginable type of cuisine.\u00a0 There are still several traditional Romanian restaurants that have been operating for years.\u00a0 The traditional foods are similar to the rest of Eastern Europe.\u00a0 You’ll find very “meat heavy” dishes, polenta, sour kraut\/cabbage, and sausages.\u00a0 If you don’t try the Mici (a caseless sausage made of ground meat with various spices) while you’re there, you’re doing Bucharest wrong.<\/p>\n

The Party Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n
$\"Shoteria$ <\/a>
Shoteria – The latest craze in Bucharest. A bar that sells exclusively shots instead of cocktails.<\/p><\/div>\n
Romanians know how to party.\u00a0 I drink, perhaps more than I should by some estimations (talk to my dad), but Romanians can DRINK.\u00a0 Bucharest is a great party city.\u00a0 The booze is cheap, the people are fun, and the clubs and bars are abundant.\u00a0 Seriously, I just got back from my first trip to Vegas and they have nothing on Bucharest.\u00a0 Romanians are a special kind of drinker and I simply cannot keep up (without a little practice \ud83d\ude09 ) For this reason Bucharest is emerging as a hot destination for European stag and hen parties.<\/p>\n
The Quirky<\/strong><\/p>\n
$\"Bucharest$ <\/a><\/p>\n
Bucharest is full of wacky “off the beaten path experiences” too.\u00a0 I experienced my first cat cafe in Bucharest.\u00a0 The cats were mostly indifferent, but the lemonade was great (Bucharest’s lemonade game is STRONG) and there was a dog there too so that was cool.\u00a0 And in news you never knew you needed to know, Bucharest is actually home to the worlds largest collection of irons and corkscrews at the Museum of Romanian Records<\/a>.\u00a0 You’ll be surprised and amazed at the amount of dirty corkscrews on the market.<\/p>\n
$\"Bucharest$ <\/a><\/p>\n
Bucharest also has a recreation center (the largest of it’s kind in Europe) that’s part indoor pool, part beach, and part botanical garden called Therme<\/a>.\u00a0 Perhaps best of all, Bucharest has no shortage of rooftop bars, and that’s something we can all get behind.<\/p>\n
$\"Bucharest$ <\/a><\/p>\n
There is literally something for everyone in Bucharest, even the antique iron enthusiast.<\/p>\n
*Many thanks to the wonderful team that put together Experience Bucharest for hosting me and facilitating this amazing experience!<\/span><\/p>\n
