flickr calendarA lot of Czech/Slovak stuff is going on in New York this month!! If you are a fan of classical music, then this is your month because the Czech Symphony Orchestra is touring the US. If you are more into the movie scene you can meet the dean of the the Czech University of Film (FAMU) and discuss any Czech movie either with him or with  the Czech film students that he brought along. For those who are interested in architecture, this month also introduces the exhibition of Czech cubism.
