In Prague's Holešovice Market, in Halls 27 and 28, a branch of the Myšák pastry shop, the Skô restaurant by Slovak chef Tomáš Valkovič, and a new location of the Naše maso butcher shop have opened. The businesses are connected by a shared courtyard where guests can enjoy food throughout the day. The courtyard was designed by AP Atelier, the renowned architect Josef Pleskot, whose team also designed the interiors of Naše maso and Skô in Holešovice. The design of the new Myšák branch was created by Tereza Froňková.
Tucked inside Koruna Palace (Palác Koruna) on Wenceslas Square, Peony Asian Fusion is one of those new spots that tries to solve a very Prague problem: your group can’t agree on dinner. The concept is broad on purpose—a modern take on Vietnamese, Japanese and Thai flavors, built around shareable plates, sushi, and a lively bar program.
The Aviation Museum in Kunovice, located in the Uherské Hradiště region, can now boast a uniquely looking aircraft. It is the historic C-11 plane, which has been transformed almost beyond recognition after a two-year in-depth renovation. "We restored it to the appearance it had when it flew at the end of its military career in the 1960s, specifically as an acrobatic special," says museum director Martin Hrabec about the green machine with distinctive red stripes.
Friday the thirteenth – a lucky day for the silver gibbons at Prague Zoo. Last December, the experienced female Alang Alang gave birth to her fourth offspring. The energetic nature of the male, now named Bayu by the keepers, is reflected in his name, which means "wind" in Indonesian. The curious and playful young male stands out for his fearlessness and is training in the typical brachiation for gibbons. The first offspring of this endangered species was born at the Prague Zoo ten years ago, marking the first addition of its kind in the Czech Republic.
