In another life, many summers ago, I sipped a cold one on the curb outside From Dusk Til Dawn on Týnská (for those who can remember). I drank in this view and thought, “I’ve come to the right place.

@mikimedved @KrubaTomas Even more bakeries in the neighborhood area: Kro Coffee, Tisse, La Bohéme has stuff from Artic, plus Caveau and Antoninovo you mentioned.

Spotted: Home of Dumplings coming to the fancy new building under reconstruction at the corner of Slavíková and Ondřičková. Don’t love the blotchy paint job on the building.

@KrubaTomas Thanks — didn’t know about Kin & K coming. Not far from their original place. The dumpling place looks like the first Czech spot from this Berlin restaurant https://t.co/2moPxINWy6

Sunday, May 24 is the last day to get these Chibi Mochi donuts from the shop, which is closing down. After that, they’ll do pop ups, farmers’ markets and other events. 3+1 deal on the last day.

Popped by Korso Krymska street festival. Fried chicken kimchi sandwich at Jam & Co looked great. But I didn’t try anything. The DJ blasting too loud set off a car alarm & it was too hot to hang. I just wanted out. Went to Grebovka Pavilon for mid food in a beautiful park instead.

I’ve loved fancy sports cars since I was a kid. So when someone leaves 10-million crowns worth of Ferrari on the street, I’m gonna snap a few photos.

KRO Vinohrady Caesar salad was small, underdressed & chicken was basic. Bacon cooked long before. For 295 Kč, I expected more & better. The leg/thigh was more moist, flavorful & the mashed potatoes were great. I’m a fan of Kro Vršovice. So far, I’m underwhelmed by Kro Vinohrady

Sorry to see this mochi donut place didn’t make it. https://t.co/W05rd6WKJW

Probably my favorite burger bite of all time and I’ve had the best NYC has to offer. It’s back this week on Výčep’s lunch special menu. 425 Kč, no fries and I don’t care.

Arctic char gravlax, buttermilk, lemon and dill sauce, gin marinated cucumber, trout caviar, marinated daikon at Mazel.

@adamkopp Yes but 1850 Kč per kilogram!

Love Nutella but hate what it’s made of? Here’s a tip: DM’s Bio Crema alle Nocciole is 50% hazelnut vs 13% Nutella. It has around half the palm oil. DM’s is 38% sugar, Nutella is 56-58%. DM’s ingredients are 100% organic and uses real Bourbon vanilla powder, a bit more expensive

Concert set up at Riegrovy sady. Don’t know the details though.

@KandingJirka The bags of Asian dumplings are also tasty and a good deal, compared with restaurant prices.

[Czech Please @CzechPlease]

Love barbecued eel but hate paying 400 Kč in a restaurant? We buy frozen unagi at Shinfood Korunní, listed on their website for 298 Kč. Not only cheaper than unagi don, you get the whole 250g fish rather than a few slices. Heat up & enjoy sweet, buttery deliciousness over rice

Oops, Bohemian Foodgasm did it again! BBQ pork belly, gherkin-sriracha relish, kimchi on a https://t.co/ZrBT0BvGf5 bun. Got the pork on sale, paid around 100 Kč for almost a kilo. Home cooking for the win!

[Czech Please @CzechPlease]

I mentioned that I had some nice pork belly down the street and Bohemian Foodgasm was like, “Hold my beer.” 😆 Amazing deliciousness in a bun!

Automat Matuška JzP needs to up their lunch game. Classic sviċkova, 248 Kč. Sauce was delicious, the beef fairly standard. It was barely warm & the portion was small, tiny dumplings. Their killer Korean-style pork belly with kimchi & pickles was a better choice, 229 Kč

Boko Bistro is now open where Casa Nostra used to be. The interior is totally redone. Turkish eggs for breakfast, evening menu is mostly tapas, desserts, coffee, wine & other alcohol. With all the tables outside restaurants & cafes, JzP square has an alfresco buzz these days.

PJ Bistro & Bar opened today at Velehradská 4. I’m cautiously excited as they have a small menu of Asian favorites, classic egg breakfasts and they’re almost neighbors. If anyone else gets there first, let me know.
