ical Czech snack food chlebícky— a slice of white bread with ham or salami
and cheese or potato salad. You have to eat standing up, but prices are pure

of this building (enter from the square). It's open Monday to Friday from
6:30am to 7pm and Saturday from 9am to 3pm. No credit cards are accepted.

desserts, ice cream, and fruit salads priced from 13Kc to 90Kc (55¢-$3.75/
25p-£2). This sweet oasis has been popular with the locals for decades. It's
open Monday to Saturday 9am to 8pm, Sunday 10am to 8pm.
If you are visiting Prague's Vinohrady quarter, you can't avoid its main
square, námêstí Míru, with St. Ludmila's Church. On the right side of the
church, when facing it, near the metro entrance, there is usually a stand
with the best hot dog in Prague. The dog is topped with ketchup or two
kinds of tasty Czech mustard and served on a fresh white roll. It costs 14Kc
(60¢/30p) and it is available Monday to Friday from 9:30am until the supply
for that day lasts.

draft or in bottles.
