Top Summer Parks in Prague Center - Posted July 20, 2010
Prague has enough meaty street carts to bring Brooklyn’s butchers to their knees. Few would argue against the sausage-scented air clouding Old Town’s cobblestone streets, but every carnivore needs a dose of green from time to time. Leafy parks are plentiful, fortunately, and whether they come clad with gardens or breathtaking views, these open spaces [...]

Impressions from Prague - Posted May 17, 2010
First impressions, I’ll admit, were a little dour. The sky was overcast, the air a little chill, and what architecture I saw in the taxi from the airport to the hotel was smothered in graffiti.

Visit Prague and Walk This Way! - Posted May 10, 2010

Slip down a cobbled path studded with handmade-jewelery stalls and get back at the Astronomical Clock in the Old Town Square, which tells the current zodiac sign.

Protests Against the Czech Repair of Charles Bridge - Posted March 10, 2010
There is no question the bridge, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, needs a makeover. The last major fix in the mid-1970s failed to achieve its goal of protecting it from rainfall and snow, and since then the Czech capital’s miserable weather has left its mark. Several of the bridge’s statues already are faux-Baroque [...]
