NvB: Bored in Brno?: Night Food

Night Food

I had the best french fries in Brno last night. Really! If you're ever looking for a late-nite, check out the night stand of the Asijské bistro "Bambus". It's on Kobližná street between the main square (nám. Svobody) and the square where the Mahenovo divadlo is (Malinovského nám.).

They fried them fresh, the were crispy (and not dripping with grease), salty, and served with your choice of tatárka or kečup (i.e., mayonnaise or ketchup). The selling point is the they offer small and large portions, and the small is the same size as the fries from the stand down the street but five crowns less! And they're open extra late on Fridays and Saturdays.

And they say there are no good restaurants in Brno? But seriously, in the middle of the night it's about your only choice other than McDonald's, and I guarantee the Bistro's fries were better than any I've had at the McDonald's on the main square recently (yikes).

The Blog

What is "Bored in Brno"? a) the best Czech movie of 2003, b) a blog about Brno (the Czech Republic's second largest city) and my adventures in and observations of south and east Moravia. I usually post about music, arts, culture, and stuff in Brno; or, I talk about whatever; or, I may bore you.

There's a Czech saying about how you are a new person for every language you learn. Here's your chance to experience Czech vicariously and to become your new self, now conveniently available in English translation. (Or at least something reasonably close to English.)

If you have questions, suggestions, like what you see, or you're just plain bored, don't hesitate to leave a comment or e-mail me.

The Blogger

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.
