Prague off the beaten path: Veverkova street
Letna, the district we love and recommend for a visit, has always been a place that attracted creative people. Heck, it’s the district that the National Gallery and the Academy of Fine Arts call home, after all. It is also the district of our rental apartment, so it must be good, right?
Recently, a small section of a small street in the middle of Letna has become a tiny hub for young creative types: the Veverkova street. A stretch of no more than 50 meters between the Kostelni and Milady Horakove streets accommodates a handful of places that offer fun shopping and eating opportunities. And because shopping and eating are two of our favorite things especially when we travel - and because Zuzi bought two Christmas presents for Jan there - we have to write about these venues. Some may be familiar, some may not. But they are all small, authentic and creative in their own right and create a sense of a small community.
Meet a local: Mimi of La Femme Mimi
When you meet Mimi, the designer and owner of La Femme Mimi, a popular Czech fashion label, you see a person who is always smiling, a person who just can‘t wait to share her true passions and someone with an interesting story. We sat for an hour to talk about her past, her present and a little bit about the future. But the most important question of course is: “Where do you get the best Vietnamese spring rolls in Prague?”
Shopping in Prague: Communist era Czech vintage treasures
Today, we have a tip for lovers of all things vintage. When we travel we always search for unique local things to bring home. Although we can spend hours antique hunting when we travel, back home we used to prefer young designers. But that’s changing. For a long time the design quality of Communist-era Czechoslovak design objects was ignored by almost everyone. These pieces were basically seen as nothing to write home about. However, the popular haunts for vintage object lovers like Noveretro, Nanovo, Moare/Retroobjects and Tuzeks - all started out of a love for vintage things - have slowly made pointed our attention to design gems that are also becoming very popular on the world market.
