    replying to u/Chef_Brah: Ya if you like [spit in your sausages](https://ny.eater.com/2018/6/18/17475514/bohemian-hall-beer-garden-spit-receipt). They also charged me wrong tip amount and i had to dispute it with my credit card company, luckily i had customer copy of receipt. (There are more such instances of that happening if you search reddit) . And their service is one of the slowest if it’s even moderately busy, waited 45 mins for schnitzel. Go to Koliba, it’s in the same area but much nicer staff and more vast menu.

    “Koliba is amazing! That goulash, perogies, that fried cheesy bread with garlic oil-just amazing. Awesome decor too.”

    replying to u/Out-of-Fox: If you’re willing to expand your definition of Slavs to include West Slavs (Czechs, Slovaks, Poles), there are a few more restaurants: Koliba, in Astoria (Slovak ski-chalet/hunting lodge fare) Bohemian Spirit, in UES (Czech, modern twist on mostly traditional fare) Karczma, in Greenpoint (Polish, traditional fare)

    “If you go to [Koliba](https://www.kolibarestaurant.com/), try the česnaková or garlic soup. It's great.”
