Just Cavalli Café
April 4, 2008
Forget your run-of-the-mill everyday local bars, every now and then you need to splash out on a see-and-be-seen place. And where better than Roberto Cavalli’s over-the-top cafe. Animal skins, tented ceilings, goldfish bowls, and of course just about the best-dressed crowd in the world’s best-dressed city. What’s not to like? And if you don’t find a model or designer to chat to, don’t worry, you’ve got beautiful views out over the Parco Sempione instead.

Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre
April 4, 2008
When New Yorkers aren’t yelling or pushing each other, they love to laugh. Sometimes the wit and humor you hear on the streets is entertaining enough. But if you’re searching for some real underground comedy, the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre is here to make you double over. Upcoming and established comics take turns doing stand up, one-man shows, or group sketch comedy. Started by a quartet of comedians in the late 90’s (including Saturday Night Live’s Amy Poehler), they now produce shows every night of the week. And with cheap beer and wine for sale during performances, the UCB is guaranteed to put you in a good mood.

Arthouse fans have the rare opportunity to see films which seldom screen in theaters, including breakout Icelandic thriller Jar City, Cannes Jury Prize-winner Silent Light, Balkan drama Armin, and Romanian classic Asphalt Tango. The festival programme also includes crowd-pleasing titles like Sergei Bodrov’s Oscar-nominated Ghengis Khan story Mongol, romantic comedy 2 Days In Paris and Iraq war thriller In The Valley Of Elah, plus a tribute to Alan Parker, including screenings of his mind-blowing film Pink Floyd: The Wall. Most screenings take place at Village Cinemas Andel.

The Hives
April 4, 2008
Thanks to The Hives, music fans the world over can once again use the phrase ‘Swedish supergroup’ without irony. Or not. Frenetic, loud and just plain fun, The Hives are in league with bands like The Strokes and The White Stripes in preserving the rawness of punk with pop sophistication and a (presumably ironic) rejection of false modesty. On stage lead singer Pelle Almqvist channels Mick Jagger, James Brown and Johnny Rotten, helping give Spin magazine reason to rank the band’s live shows among the world’s best. Expect the Sunday evening show in downtown Prague to cause a rock’n’roll scandal.
