Almost whenever I go for walk in Stromovka park (read the Stromovka article), I end up in Wakata. After healthy walk my body needs some refreshments, my ears need to defrost, and their bar is pleasantly equipped for such occasions. The barmen are always nice, even though it sometimes takes some time before you are served. But who wants to hurry from here? (By the way, dogs are welcome, as in many Prague places.)

True is that I like this bar all year long. It is my anchor in Prague 7 – one of few, scattered all over Prague. So when come in and enjoy this place carved deep in Prague`s DJ history.

And – did I tell you that Wakata also does concerts? Check out the website!

The hall number 22 is one of my favourite places where I go regularly –  the vegetable market takes place there. In the season, it is an oasis of fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers from local provenience (although you can also find there imported commodities). The main season is now, of course over, but you still can buy a lot of veggies, fruits and also fresh fish (not every day).

Some people can not understand, why I tend to buy vegetables there if I do not live in the neighborhood. But it´s simple – the rate quality/price comparing to what you can buy in supermarkets is definitely better, in spite of the fact that I like to support local farmers (one note: some are only re-sellers, but you still have plenty of local ones).

Another favourite represents a small stall with authentic Vietnamese food (and would-be Chinese food). The stall is quite well hidden – you will find it in a small side street just under the hall number 8 schedule. Try any kind of phở soup,  bún chả or bún bò khô, it´s delicious! (the stall is closed on Sundays and attention, it might be crowded around lunch time). To compare, you can check out the asian cuisine az SaSaZu, which is a music club and restaurant under one roof.
