It's true in a lot of cities, including New York, that the most touristy part of town is the one with the highest prices. That's why it's always good to get advice from real locals on where to go, especially when it's time for dinner! James, thanks for the comment on this–much appreciated.

Of course I was coming from Munich :) One bit of advice: Stay the hell out of Old Town unless you're seeing the sights. It's tourist and VERY expensive. Staying in "New Town" or Prague 2, or across the river in Prague 7 you'll find small family restaurants, markets, coffee shops which are extremely affordable. South of Prague in the country I'd visit a small market for lunch and make a sandwich for $1. But Prague is affordable - you just have to know what neighborhoods to stay in. james...
