What's in a Prague street name

Same story as yesterday: https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/11/05/prague-1-day-245-hastalske-namesti/; this is what the church looks like from here.

The square was actually part of this street until 1928.

It was at number 26 that Max Brod, Kafka’s closest friend, was born (i.e. I missed a trick by not posting this one yesterday, the 100th anniversary of Kafka’s death).

The street also features U Zlatého stromu (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/11/01/prague-1-day-233-dlouha/), but in the least scenic way possible.

But you can then go and wash down your disappointment with the architecture at La Degustation (number 18), which has a Michelin star: https://ladegustation.cz/en
