A waiter in a long white apron stands at the entrance of the Lipa restaurant in Miletićeva Street, one of Novi Sad's long-running historic inns. The façade is arranged symmetrically around the entrance, with plants displayed behind the large windows and advertisements for Vajfert beer running above them. The establishment had developed from the older German-named inn Linde or Zur Linde and occupied the same property in the former Lebarski sokak, today's Svetozara Miletića Street. Municipal records document Đura Zurković as tenant of the Lipa restaurant at Miletićeva 7 in 1925, while interwar almanacs continue to list Lipa in the same street. In 1935 Radovan Čonkić was advertising himself as restaurateur at Lipa, Miletićeva 7.
About this place
Lebarski sokak, the bread sellers' lane, is the old name of today's Miletićeva street, which runs between Zmaj Jovina and Jovana Subotića in the old core of Novi Sad. It appears under that name on city plans from the middle of the 18th century, taken from the bread sellers who traded in that part of town. Hungarian and German usage translated the name directly, as Kenyér utca and Brodgasse, and postcards of the street carry both forms. After the First World War it was renamed for the Serbian politician Svetozar Miletić, and it briefly bore the name of Lajos Kossuth during the Hungarian occupation of 1941 to 1944.
