U modrou kachnicky
Arguably Prague’s finest purveyor of gourmet Czech food, The Blue Duckling, as its name translates into English, is well known to parliamentarians and movie actors alike. The original location in the city’s Mala Strana district across the Vltava river has finally grown into a second, more easily found branch in the Old Town district. The new edition still banks on what this place has always done best – the kitchen’s trademark delicate handling of game and their mastery of fine, hearty sauces of natural herbs and Moravian wines. Service is impeccable, the atmosphere old-world and presentation is something that would make a Bohemian grandmother proud.
The Triumph of French Painting
This exhibition includes over 50 major French paintings from the 19th and early-20th centuries, from neo-classicism to post-impressionism. ‘The Triumph of French Painting: Masterpieces from Ingres to Matisse’ is sponsored by the Baltimore Museum of Art and JP Morgan. Among the immortals on display are Cezanne, Degas, Delacroix, Gauguin, Manet, Monet, and Picasso. An art lover’s delight, this show will be one of the highlights of the season.
Best In Show
From the stars of This Is Spinal Tap – the funniest film ever made – comes another hilarious spoof documentary, this about an oddball group of pet lovers at a dog show.
