Over by the NYU center we found a nice cheap place to grab lunch or a drink. One of the best things about this place is that for thirty crowns you get a whole pot of tea, not just a single cup. For a little bit more you can get yucca tea with milk and honey. It smells like an intoxicating cinnamon elixir. They also have a Czech specialty, pickled brie. Its in the picture above (I forgot to take a picture before hand so it looks a little mangled). It has a great briney taste and they split it in half and stuff it with hot peppers before they begin the pickling process. They serve it with a sweet white kraut and a beet-cabbage kraut both quite delicious.
The first time I ate here I also ordered a brie and ham panini, again it was really delicious. Its a different type of panini too, it presses a triangle of bread into two smaller triangles. Yesterday I got the mushroom soup which was smokey and spicy and tasted a bit like my grandmothers mushroom soup so it was food and memories! I think I will be coming here for lunch and in between classes for some tea a snack and a warm place to read.

Grammi's mushroom soup sure was delicious! It looks like you are having a great time. Jonathan and I love reading all of your blog enteries. They are wonderful and enlightening. You are quite talented in so many ways. We look forward to hearing more about your on goings in Prague! Love, Julie
