Favorite angkringan locations in Yogyakarta

In previous article, it has been told about the location of this type of food corner in general. It usually uses the empty space in a corner of streets, storefront, and the land which is not utilized. But where is the favorite angkringan locations in Yogyakarta ?
The first is along Code riverside. It's very strategic, so that every night, it is always crowded by people, especially young people. Most of them just want to hang out there, sharing thoughts with friends, or playing cards for fun, but not gambling.
The next favorite angkringan locations in Yogyakarta is in the yard of Kedaulatan Rakyat office at Mangkubumi street, north of Malioboro street or south of Tugu monument. Its name is is Pak Jabrik angkringan. Its cart is on pavements at the edge of the street, and share the space with motorcycle parking area, but it is not crowded because of its wide pavements. Customers may sit on the existing lawn chairs on pavements, in addition to cart chairs and ones from the office of Kedaulatan Rakyat Daily. Because the place is vast, it is comfortable for hang out activity with your friends. This is somewhat different from the others, because the lights on the verandah of that daily office are bright enough, while the other angkringan charts usually have dim lighting from oil lamps. The third is Lik Man angkringan which become the legendary angkringan because Lik Man, whose real name is Siswo Raharjo is the son of Mbah Pairo, whom is believed by the people as the angkringan founder in Yogyakarta since the 1950s.

After that, other angkringans fluorished in Yogyakarta. Its location is in emplacement Tugu Train Station. The favorite beverage in this stall is Joss Coffee, a hot coffee added with a burning charcoal so that it hiss with the sound heard by Javanesse as joss.
