Welcome to Bratislava part 2

Day 2 (Continued)

The hotel is quite large, with great room amenities that we almost accidentally spent all afternoon in our room. Though, we finally managed to leave for our walk around the city and we just came back up from a great evening out on the town. We decided to check our recommendations list for a place to grab some food. This led us to come across this great little local restaurant tucked away from the larger streets, called Slovenska Restaurant and it was within walking distance. It was the perfect way to step right into their culture, by tasting their local cuisine for a great price. We ordered a variety of small entrees which included vegetables and cheeses, and for our main course we decided to order 'Bryndzové halušky' (potato dumplings with sheeps milk cheese). This restaurant really made me realize that we were actually finally on vacation. From the soft folk background music that represents the Slovak history, to the welcoming and colorful décor which represented their culture perfectly. Afterward, we headed over to a recommended underground jazz club, Metro Club, for a quiet night of live music, which is a very well known form of entertainment between the locals. I must admit,this was a beautiful way to spend our first night in Bratislava.
