Miss Mocca on 2nd Ave near 81st St in NYC. Unfortunate that its gone.
You should mention the good online stores with Hungarian food in the USA. And there are plenty of them. Restaurants are cool, but buying stuff straight from Europe is a warranty of local ingredients. There are many websites where you can order Hungarian food deli. I personally purchase in Fabko online store. They have perfect lecso, goulash, and salami. And all of those are prepared in Hungary.
