JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. CAFÉ - HOTEL ROMANTIK U RAKA, PRAHA/CZECH REPUBLIC

-

Thrusday, Shvat 4, 5779. January 10, 2019.

Shalom! World.

The U Raka house, no.10/93, is located in Hradcany, close to Marianske hradby (Maria Ramparts), in a romantik corner of Praha, where history has left many interesting monuments.





The oldest written record concerning the house dates back to 1739. At that time, the butcher Simonis bought some municipal land for 80 Rhine-gold Ducats in order to build stables The next owner Mr. Libicky, who also a butcher, extend the land, but the official Praha description from 1774 still listed only stables for livestock on that property. However, in 1794, Josef Schaller first mentioned the name of  the house "U Raka" in his description of royal seat and capital city of Praha.

The Libicky Family transformed the stables into a residential house and built another house on the land adjacente to the former stables. The first  house built on the property was a timbered building with a shingle roof. Once there were remained the only timbered building in Praha, and therefore became, together with the whole complex, a registered cultural monument.


The house U Raka in its presente form serves as a hotel and a wonderful little Café which, due to its small capacity, fits seamlessly into the surrounding environment.  


Your experience enjoying the Hotel and the Café will be unforgettable!!!!!!

Shalom! Aleichem.

Sunday, Kislev 15, 5778. December 3, 2017. Shalom! World. Green Caffè Nero, Nowy Swiat, 53. Warszawa/Poland. The blend ot Green Caffé Nero has remained the same unique since the year that the founder and owner, Gerry Ford, spent months working and crafting with John Ritzy, a master coffee roaster, and his Probat in a smal room beneath London Bridge. He knew exactly what he was looking for to start Green Caffé Nero: that rich, persistent roast that spoke of his time living in Italy and that has now became so familiar to us all. It was 1997, 20-years ago. The beans required to achieve this distictive flavour, however, aren't easy to find. G.C.N. source handpicked beans from higher altitudes and rich soils across a variety of origins to get the kind the quality that will complement the meticulous methods, providing the richness and flavour that G.C.N. simply won't compromisse on. After all these years, G.C.N. come to think of it as an art. There's no rushin...
