I often hear from my friends and family that this cake and that tart were much larger and cheaper a certain time ago! What the cause is for these thoughts is a deep question – maybe we grow and the cakes do not. Well, in this sweetshop you can be sure the sizes are like in those childhood days, but, honestly, I cannot bet on the prices as well.

Erhartova Cukrarna is not only interesting simly because of the perfect desserts they prepare, but also because of the location. In this very spot the sweetshop has been located since 1937 when the building was built. The pure functionalist interior was very gently renovated just few years ago and, truly, it is a miracle the interior was not destroyed during the last era.

The new unobtrusive design is balanced by a rich variety of the desserts. From little soft cookies to large heavy cakes for cream lovers, I believe each of you can choose the right one. Of course you can sit inside and accompany the cake with a coffee. Here is another important message for quality lovers – all desserts are prepared right in the sweetshop and the bakers are using high-quality and natural products like real cream. And that is rare to see these days.

Continue to Stromovka (check the Stromovka article) to walk after all the sweets you could not resist to eat or to Bio Oko (check the Bio Oko article) to see a nice movie!

The hall number 22 is one of my favourite places where I go regularly –  the vegetable market takes place there. It is an oasis of fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers from local provenience (although you can also find there imported commodities) of course according to the season. It is actually quiet nice to see how the goods (hence seasons) are changing if you go there regularly.

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 favorite 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 remember, it might be crowded around lunch time). To compare, you can check out the fusion Asian cuisine SaSaZu, which is a music club and restaurant under one roof.

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, 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!
