Food Scene
It is an excellent and reasonable place for breakfast, lunch or just an espresso. Delicious, fresh croissants; wonderful, reasonably priced daily lunch menu. For breakfast I recommend the "sweet menu" (espresso, croissant, jam, butter), or the fresh spinach and cheese omelette with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.

Delicious traditional and international cuisine at excellent prices—lovely atmosphere and service. Please allow me to recommend the goat cheese and roasted almonds stuffed chicken breast, buttered baby carrots with honey and mashed potatoes (Kuřecí prsíčko plněné kozím sýrem a praženými mandlemi, baby karotka na másle a medu se šťouchanými bramborami). Be sure to order a Budweiser here (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in Pilsen, Czech Republic).

Arguably the best restaurant in Prague is only a couple of blocks away. The Czech president and prime minister, as well as a bevy of Czech movie starlets, are among its discreet denizens. The food is excellent, as is the wine list. Not all that pricey, actually.

This is an excellent nearby Indian restaurant. The daily all-you-can-eat lunch is fine, but I suggest that you order from the menu. The food is great, as is the service and atmosphere. Reasonably priced.

Arts & Culture
Functionalist firebrand Adolf Loos, who wrote Ornament and Crime in 1908 (http://gwu.edu/~art/Temporary_SL/177/pdfs/Loos.pdf), was an early, vehement Austrian voice against Art Nouveau. A guided visit to his nearby Villa Müller—Müllerova vila in Czech—is likely to draw you into Loos' powerful, misunderstood aesthetic and rarefied humour. Highly recommended. Books by Loos are also available to read in your apartment.
