Some of the best food I have ever had was in Budapest....loved it so much, I bought a Hungarian cookbook and learned why the food was so delicious. Almost everything was made with lard....sometimes you just have to live it up, I suggest live it up and enjoy.
Use your credit card as much as possible, as previously pointed out, local money is worthless. If you must get cash go to an atm (better rates) and pull out what you think you will need in local money. Take someone with you to atm, it is a very poor country, lots of pickpockets, etc.
I still remember seeing the bullet holes in the buildings left over from WW-2. The views along the river are spectacular, which you will see on any kind of tourist tour.
