1937 Budapesti notesz MEGYERY ELLA A budapesti Promenade des Anglais - "A Dunakorzó seregszemléje a pesti társaságnak, ahol a báltermek és szalonok élete tovább folytatódik, mint egy csillogó kirakatban, amelyhez fogható ebben az összeállításban sehol sincs a világon. Igazi pièce unique a pesti korzó, amelynek minden órában megvan a maga törzsközönsége s ez a publikum a nap egyes szakaszai szerint változik, tolódik, cserélõdik. Reggel hivatalbasietõ urak kávéznak a Hangli fái alatt, ráérõ külföldiek cigarettázgatnak a kávéházterrasszokon s a nagy felvonulás déli félegy és kettõ közt éri el tetõfokát, mikor csak lépésrõl-lépésre lehet elõresodródni az elegáns tömegben s a Buchwald-székek szinte elõvételben kelnek el.
