Nagymezõ utca has historically been and remains the cultural artery of the city. Its meaning (big field) is literal: it was named in 1720 referring to the large plot of land located there before the city slowly grew around it in the 18th and 19th centuries. By the late 19th it was referred to as the Broadway of Pest as most of the cultural institutions were found in this street, many of which still exist. Five theaters, the music conservatroy, a museum of contemporary art, the house of photographers, a church, an annual art festival, seven music clubs and countless bars, pubs and restaurants make Nagymezõ utca the liveliest neighborhoods of today's downtown Budapest.


Instant, created by transforming two full former residential bulidings into the biggest and most popular of the street's clubs is a favorite hangout of many locals and toruits. This unique decorated ruin pub features several bars, rooms and dance floors with live concerts, all night long reggea, dubstep, breakbeat, electro or techno parties. In a quiet part on the 2nd floor of this complex is Instant Groove! party hostel, the third and newest project by Daniel and Peter.
