Thanksgiving 2019: where to celebrate in Prague

Thankfully, a number of local eateries have got you covered, and for anyone looking for a particularly memorable feast, this year there’s a Thanksgiving murder mystery (taking place on Friday) and a chance to dine in a castle with an American connection, if you’re willing to travel. Reservations are highly recommended as many restaurants fill up early.

Old standbys include the Globe Bookstore and Jama. The latter is serving Thanksgiving for the 25th time. In recent years several new places have joined in, adding to the options.
