We’re giving you this long-ago Wikipedia entry because we think it’s interesting:  “Manuc’s Inn was, until it was shut for restoration and refurbishment, the oldest operating hotel building in Bucharest …  it also housed a popular restaurant, several bars, a coffee-house, several stores and an extensive bar. Its massive, multiply balconied courtyard hosted many performances and fairs and was a popular place for Romanian television crews to shoot folkloric performances. The hotel and restaurant were closed down in 2007 for refurbishment; shops and a bar known both as Cafeaneaua Bucurestilor de Altadata (“Bucharest of Yesteryear” Cafe) and as Festival 39 remained open (though the bar closed in February 2010).  There appear to be disagreements between the city government and the owners about the legality of certain modernizations being undertaken.”  And now?  Looks like they have overcome all that, and are open again.  The card was not postally used but has a message and address filling the reverse.  Grade: 4
