Czech and Slovak Presence in Florida-a List

CZECH AND SLOVAK PRESENCE IN FLORIDA
Last update: December 9, 2011

Consulates

Organizations

Restaurants

Bakeries

Businesses

Museums

Shops

Meat Markets

The following is a work in progress, and it will likely be in progress for some time to come....probably forever. It is an effort to find as many Czech and Slovak cultural and ethnic entities, such as organizations, restaurants, clubs, etc. that reside anywhere in Florida, as possible. The objective is, of course, for this information to be available to not only Czechs and Slovaks, but anyone that is interested. The listings have started small, but with your help they will grow. If you can add to any of the categories shown below (or a new category) please send an email note with the details by using the "E-MAIL" link below. Remember, our objective is to provide a source of information, not advertising. Therefore our listings show only the essentials. Your help is really appreciated.

The categories that are initially of interest are; Czech and Slovak consulates, organizations, clubs, museums, restaurants, bakeries, businesses, butcher shops, specialty shops, schools, newspapers and churches. We know that that there are organizations, museums and restaurants, but the other categories may be harder to find....Florida is not Illinois, Iowa, Texas or Nebraska or other such location, in the U.S., that has very large concentrations of Czechs and Slovaks. Nevertheless the Czechs and Slovaks are here in Florida, and it will be interesting to see this list grow.

If you would like to submit a Czech or Slovak organization, restaurant, etc., that is located in Florida, for addition to our listings please click E-MAIL and send us the details.
