The Jozsef korut is one of the sleazier arcs of the Nagykorut, with lezbianus shows that have survived the crackdown on Rakoczi ter , following a law in 1999 that restricted prostitution to "tolerated zones" - a move which merely drove the trade into brothels more easily controlled by the Mafia. While theatre-goers bestow bourgeois respectability upon Koztarsasag ter - the home of Budapest's "second" opera house, the Erkel Theatre - the grittier side of life prevails at Keleti Station on Baross ter. As Budapest's "gateway to the east", it's not surprising that Chinese takeaways and Arab shops are a feature of the area - nor the incessant ID checks by the police , who patrol here in threes ("One can read, one can write, and the third one keeps an eye on the two intellectuals", as the old joke has it).
