This is a small client I work for, and so I understand their restrictions.

I like the client, and they really appreciate what I do for them, so it makes me feel good and I consider it my "paying it forward" as I have plenty of clients who have $125 limit for dinner!!!

Staybridge is nice, some of the locations have some impressive quick dinners too. I am not talking anything fine, but I'd have fresh grilled burgers, decent tasting chili, they do have a nice breakfast too, with a LOT of fresh fruits.

Oh and some local wines are normally free at Staybridge too, along with draft beer, all self serve.

We plan to introduce amenity kits and soft drink service in Q1 2010.

With Diet Pepsi in cans, no doubt.

I only take free luggage services and hard drinks, must upgrade!

btw how does Mike's get away with calling their lemonade and cider hard it si less than 3% hard... :D

According to the FDA, that isn't even worth labeling for some ingredients or figures (like calories)

I've got a 2007 Sam Adams Utopia that I am hoping is as good as they say it is.

I hope so - I considered picking one up and it's rated profoundly high.

I am looking at some restaurants in Prague to see if I can find a good place for our Saturday evening dinner next week. Since we'll be in Prague, I thought we should do a place with some Czech food - any thoughts on either of these?

Cerny Kohout

V Zatisi

Cafe Savoy
(looks more casual)

If anyone has been to Prague and has other suggestions, feel free to share. I'll be looking for drinking establishments later on as well...

U Sedmi Svabu is a Medieval-Themed restaurant with traditional czech food and beer. :-:

It's near the Castle, in a very cool part of town.
