If you were standing at the left side of the map shown below and looking toward your right front, this is what you would see. Our apartment was just down that little street and to the right. We were literally steps from the square. The restaurant we went to is on the same corner in front of the church. The one with the white awnings with red writing.
This is the “Bily Konicek” (White Horse) Restaurant in Prague. It is located in the stunning 12th century medieval cellars of one of the oldest houses on the Old Town Square. It must have been 9-10PM our first night when we finally got settled and were HUNGRY! We saw this restaurant as we were going to our apartment so we went back out and ate there. Went in the front door and down several flights of stairs, ending up in what probably was an old wine cellar. Beautifully furnished and with live music. I had sauerkraut & sausage soup. Sounds strange but was delicious (or I was really hungry) More info about tis restaurant is at: http://www.pragueexperience.com/places.asp?PlaceID=1213

mid-morning to late at night, 7 days a week, there was always something going on in the Square.
These Segway scooters were everywhere. They even were giving tours of Prague on them
