Had one of the most memorable meals in our family’s collective memory in Vienna, at a Hungarian restaurant: Ilona Stuberl. https://www.ilonastueberl.at/index.php/en/our-story
Just fantastic.Dammit, wish I'd known that before we went, since your food recs are usually good.

Thanks for all this solid advice 956! I think you sold me on Brevnov Monastery. I agree it is 3 cities but we are staying with friends and family in Vienna and Budapest so that was the genesis of this trip. I would love to hit up the Austrian Alps but the weather in May is probably a bit dicey. I will be getting out on a bike in Austria with a family friend so that should be cool.
Yes, some excellent Prague advice above. We went recently and it is a great city.
Would highly recommend the following, some of which were already mentioned by @956 Worldwide:
Taste of Prague Foodie Tour - these guys are awesome and it's a fun way to eat/drink your way around; we hit several of the spots mentioned in this thread
Nase Maso/The Real Meat Society/Kantyna - all great meat-centric places
Strahov Monastery - think this is different than the one mentioned above, but unbelievable libraries/ceilings and great beer garden
Kuchyn - agree with this rec for sure; cool at night when Castle is lit up
Lokal - several location and excellent Pilsner Urquell
U Kalendu - great dinner spot
Hemingway Bar - again, solid rec above; good drinks, nice setting and friendly staff
Spanish Synagogue Concert - saw Hallelujah concert here and it was good
We also hit Vienna on the same trip and really liked:
Zum Schwarzen Kameel - cool cafe and good people-watching
Musikverein - excellent historic music venue; saw Vienna Philharmonic and it was impressive
Schloss Schonbrunn - a must see
Nussdorf - nearby wine/Heurigen area; go to Mayer am Pfarrplatz (at Beethoven's home)
Cafe Frauenhueber - neat old cafe; kinda somber/quirky, but the real thing
Vienna Sausage - sounds ridiculous, but great place for a dog on the Ringstrasse
Prague and Vienna were different in many ways, but both great places to visit and way too many great/fun places to list here. Clean, beautiful architecture and friendly people. I want to go back someday for sure. Have fun.

Andy Murray is a freakin warrior. He’s going to be taking an ice bath all day Friday
Yep, that Murray/Kokkinakis match was f'in unreal and awesome to watch. Someone needs to post a link to the ridiculous break point Murray won...it's unbelievable.
Never been a big Murray fan, but gotta respect him coming back from 2 sets down to win after 5 hours 45 minutes. It was sick.

I don't love Scott Drew but c'mon man. You weren't impressed when they whipped everyone's ass to win a national title?
Maybe I'm crazy, but I really wasn't impressed with him as a coach, even though that was an absolutely great/loaded team.
That said, I admit that my utter hate for Baylor is probably clouding my judgment. Fuck Baylor.

Saw something upthread about Drew. I'm sure it's just one of these media clowns spewing names, but hell no.
Never been impressed with his coaching and there's a reason Barnes hated his slimy ass...he's a pos hack m'fer from Baylor. No f'in thanks.

I'm shocked. I'm pissed. It's not Chris Beard anymore.

Caleb Williams must have fucked some of y'all's sisters. 462 and 5 TDs to 1 pick and he's a loser and the reason they lost?
Maybe they should have held TU to less than 300 rushing yards.
Yep, USC's defense is an abomination.

Just talked to a source who confirmed with me that New Iberia (La.) Westgate four-star safety Derek Williams will sign on Wednesday. Texas is also expecting that to happen. However, a late push from Miami is something to monitor. We'll have more if we get it, but this recruitment is being kept tight-lipped.
Fuck Miami

Not unhappy, but seeking the most money during each allowed negotiating window.
I'm sure it has been buried somewhere amongst inane discussion re punters, chicken fried steak and hotel curtains, but when is the deadline for guys to go in the portal and when does this crazy shit end?

That’s fine but Bijan on a wheel route needs to be choice #1, 2 and 3 then. Because the mismatch is almost always there.
Calling for card is kinda dumb imo. Doesn’t mean Ewers is effective heck he’s probably a head case but let’s not make it worse by benching him for a sack vending machine.
Jeez, how wide ass open was Bijan on that one Sat night, when Ewers threw underneath to Sanders instead...all f'in alone and would've walked in.

I just hope those clowns McAfee & Luke Bryan stabbed each other to death after yesterday's show. Never thought I'd be missing Corso.

The old hippie in the waiting area.
From reddit
"Steve Mathis is a quiet legend in the film industry. If you say something like, “Man I love that Tom Petty song, Free Fallin.” Steve will reply something ridiculous like, “We had a lot of fun shooting that music video.” I worked on a crew with him where a few of us went to see Escape From New York at the local art house theater, after wrap. Sure enough, our DP jumped up during the credits and proudly shouted, “Steve Fuckin Mathis!” To the applause of our other crew mates. Anyways, it’s great to see him philosophizing with Wilhelmina Jaqueline!"
Was wondering who that was...he was great.
This show is excellent. As someone mentioned above, funny + heart = win.
Also, just heard Harjo on Fresh Air as well. Really good interview with Terry Gross.

I’ll always watch every game no matter what, I’ll always attend the OU game, and I’ll always make at least 2-3 games in Austin every year even though I haven’t lived in Texas for a few years. Texas football will always be part of my DNA.
I see the problems everyone else does, I get frustrated/mad as fuck like everyone else does, and thankfully I get over losses way quicker than I used to. However, there’s nothing that could make me not give a fuck, even though there’s a lot of days I wish that were the case….
Bingo. Sometimes I like to think I'm at zero fucks, but I'm fooling myself. By the time I hit the gates of the fair, I'll be as excited as ever...and as pissed as ever while pounding beers afterwards.
I feel lucky to have fully experienced 2005 and am pretty much resigned to never sniffing anything like it again in my lifetime.

How much cash was in the lock box that the valedictorian pulled the hat out of? There appeared to be ample room for bags in that thing and the guard had a wry grin on his face.

Does anyone remember Suzanne Halliburton's "Hotline" number for the recorded recruiting updates?
Oh yes, we used to wear that thing out.
A buddy and I were young associates at our first firm back then and the office manager came to us, asking with raised eyebrows, about all of these 900 number calls from our extensions. Not sure she bought our explanation that they were all recruiting-related.

We went to the Cathedral Church of Sts Cyril and Methodius, and the Heydrich assassination, and aftermath, is very interesting. I had not seen Anthropoid and knew nothing about the story, but wow. I would definitely recommend going to this church and checking out the memorial/museum there.
