Reading material to be found in a Jewish restaurant in Bucharest

A set of Chok Leyisrael, printed in Lemberg in 1899 which I recently acquired, had numerous stamps of
"GUSER GROSSMANN RESTAURANT AND BODEGA, BUCHAREST".
You can envision a group of saintly elderly Jews, coming in for their daily coffee at a set hour every morning, and reading along the daily portion of the Chok LeYisrael, while the youngsters in the room are sitting with their daily newspapers.
