A special Gustatory Celebration of Czech writer Jaroslav Hasek

[Suzanna Halsey]

A GUSTATORY CELEBRATION

of the greatest Czech humorist

JAROSLAV HAšEK.

Tuesday, FEBRUARY 19 at 7pm

Bohemian Spirit Restaurant

at the Bohemian National Hall

321 E 73 St, NYC

We don't usually think of Jaroslav Hašek as a food writer, and yet he and his most famous creation, the Good Soldier Švejk, are profoundly entrenched in Czech food and beer culture. Today, the largest restaurant franchise in the Czech Republic the Švejk Restaurant. This is thanks to Hašek's vivid descriptions of food that bring his fiction to life, and his own appetite, no less than gargantuan!

At this pop-up event, we'll enjoy classic Czech drinks and food while celebrating Hašek's contribution to Czech gastronomy. Food writer and "Haškolog" Abigail Weil, Harvard graduate and PhD candidate, will deliver a brief lecture, to be followed by a group discussion.

Because of the size of the venue, we can only accommodate 10 guests, so purchase your ticket today for this one-night-only event!   

A $35 ticket includes up to three items from the following categories:
Drink (beer or wine or two soda drinks)
Appetizer
Snack
Soup

Tickets are available for purchase via PayPal (https://www.paypal.me/AbigailWeil?locale.x=en_US).  

Hope to see you!  Na zdravi!!
