probably just as lively, but much closer to me than the one in the czech republic. i discovered this gem a couple of years ago when a few people went after totus tuus training. i loved it then.
last night, a group of friends went down to kolac korner to partake in the fish fry (yay lent) and listen to some live polka music.
a fairly small restaurant in a town that's even smaller, the dream of kolac korner started with a family who sold kolace on a highway corner to nebraska fans headed to the football games in lincoln. now a thriving little and humble business, the restaurant has a variety of foods including hamburgers, fried fish and its sunday special, duck and dumplings. no worries though, the signature kolace(strawberry, blueberry, poppy seed, apricot, cream cheese) are still there, along with czech liquor and beer. last night offered a free domestic brew for all customers because it was the owner's, or the "prince of prague's", birthday.
i suppose walking into a small town's most popular business as a group of young(and old) college students could be intimidating, however, the people of prague only welcome new friends, fellow husker fans and first-time polka dancers.
a crowd favorite, "in heaven there is no beer", was enjoyed several times throughout the night. and i have to admit, the polka version of "there is no place like nebraska" in honor of the kolac korner's staff for all of their hard work was a highlight.
it's nights like this when i feel like coming to school in nebraska was the best decision of my life. it's people like those in prague who make my heart come alive. and it's experiences like this that i think everyone should have. and if you want to have it, call me.
after only 15 minutes into our 4 hour stay at kolac korner, a friend asked "are we in heaven or prague, nebraska?"
"um, both."
