Kavarna Misto, my favorite coffee & cake spot in Prague, with a traditional venecek pastry on the left.

Super Tramp Coffee, tucked into the most nondescript courtyard, in the most nondescript neighborhood. I couldn't find this place again if I tried--sometimes getting lost has it's rewards!

Lokál, my very first [and last] traditional Czech meal--bread and potato dumplings, ripened fried cheese, hotdog sausages with mustard, and braised beef.

Trdelnik--sounds like turtleneck--a traditional pastry cooked over coals, filled with ice cream--delish.

There's a funicular you can take to the top of Petřín Hill, but it's actually a lovely little hike as well. One of the best views of the city.

I typically avoid most places that attract hoards of tourists; I'd rather find a different way to experience a place . So, trust me when I say, renting a paddle boat on the Vltava River is the [other] best way to see Prague. Go in the late afternoon so you can see the buildings light up during sunset.

A gorgeous, 200 acre park not far from our flat, perfect for evening walks and talks.
