Austrian cafe icon Hawelka turns 100

Cafe Hawelka, which opened in 1939, is perhaps the most storied of hundreds of coffeehouses in Vienna where young and old spend hours reading newspapers, chatting or simply people watching. For decades, it attracted world renowned writers and artists.
Longtime patrons, family members, friends and even city officials crowded into the cafe Monday to wish Hawelka well with songs, anecdotes and poems.
Hawelka himself was too weak to attend the party, but his smiling portrait perched on a couch served as a reminder of the centenarian who, to this day, spends the occasional morning watching over the waiters dressed in a blazer and bow tie.
