I was in Kosice twice and everything just sort of fell into place. If you can hookup with somebody who lives there you can find good places. Women are very hot and it's a big student town, maybe they are more conservative, but that makes for better relationship material. I'd like to take some time and get to know a city in Slovakia, but maybe a month would be too long for Kosice.
To tell the truth, your description of Kosice is how Czechs describe Ostrava. Not to rain on the parade, but they say that in the winter the industrial pollution is so bad you can't breath and it's the Gypsy central for Czech Republic (I've never had any problem with Gypsies, but Czechs love to talk about them). The bar street has a few high points. There's a reggae bar there with a cloud of pot smoke and a bunch of hipsters, some even with dreads. All boogying, smiling and having a great time. I was so surprised to find that I wanted to stay around and check it out, but the girl who was showing me around was like "let's get out, now!". LOL
I was there in the winter, the pollution wasnt too bad, imo. There were gypsies but nowhere near as many as Kosice. I do know Ostrava had a bad reputation in the past. But in recent years, the Czech government has poured a lot of money into the city and it is rather prosperous now. Many Slovaks go there to find work. The place is easier on the eye too.
Maybe I ought to give Kosice a second trial-run. Even Czech guys in Prague told me the place was legendary for the women. The Tantras mountains are nearby too...
