Portal of Terebess Tarlat on Iranyi street
Terebess stores are selling exotic, mostly asian art crafts, furniture, kitchen-ware, other home furnishing things and also gifts. They have a quite wide assortment of items.
Worth to drop by and have a look if you like these sort of things.
Besides the new "Tarlat" (exhibiton) shop in the center, they have shops in some shopping centeres too (Mammut, Westend, Europark, some Tescos) and a discount shop in the 7th district (Nefelejcs u. 50).
What to pay: Prices are not cheap, but reasonable. They have an "outlet" wholesale shop ( a bit out of town, in Kistarcsa) as well, where they do serve retail guests.
Address: 5th district, Iranyi u. 20.
Directions: Iranyi utca is parallel with Kossuth Lajos utca (btw Astoria and Ferenciek tere). The shop is close to Ferenciek tere in the direction of the Danube.

The "owl", trademark of the shop
Kozponti (Central) Antikvarium is the oldest second-hand bookstore in Budapest, existing since 1881, where you can buy old books, maps and prints starting from the years 1400 until now.
Since it's opening the area became a paradise for book fans (before WW1 the street already had 37 bookstores!), with many second hand shops on Muzeum korut and huge new bookstores on Rakoczi ut near Astoria.
What to pay: Fair prices, cheaper then else, but not the cheapest.
Address: 5t district, Muzeum korut 13-15.
Directions: The store is between Astoria (M2 underground station) and Kalvin ter (M3 underground station) almost in front of the National Museum...well...not exactly, but on the other side of the road anyway :)
