点评:We were visiting from British Columbia, Canada and I being a first generational Eastern European immigrant, our local Luzerne hosts recommended the Czech Village, although they had told us that they hadn’t been there in several years. We started at the Museum which was very nice and informative. Then we were looking forward to some cultural ethnic food places but we saw a couple of craft beer pubs and a cafe named after an Italian Saint, antique store, yuppy boutiques and home decor stores. Unfortunately, the only other Czech/Slovak remnants were the banners over the bridge, the mural at the end of a building and the words Czech on a couple of storefronts. Then, hoping to buy some Czech/Slovak food stuffs, spices, we were directed to the Newbo Market. Again deep disappointment at the variety of mediocre craft stalls, pizza, BBQ and non-descript little food stalls with no trace of the cultural groups they were named after. After an hour walk around we left and went back to the village of the Amanda Colonies, which we’d visited a few days previously. It is far truer to its original ethnic settlers, quaint, good food in several restaurants. We were quite disconcerted at the let down and the waste of time to go to the Bohemian village.
