Always happy to confuse someone, Anita.
Counterfeit money: we got a counterfeit 100 crown bill.
Bakeries: there was plenty of bread in the bakeries. What we were unable to find were appetizing pastries, except in one bakery. But we did not examine many bakeries, just the ones we stumbled across.
Streets charging admission: that would be Zlatá Ulicka, or Golden Street (or Golden Lane). You can read about it here: http://www.prague.net/the-golden-lane

I am always quite confused when somebody describes Prague quite different than I know it, nevertheless counterfeit money? Czech bread not in bakeries? Money to pay to go through a street? orly? But you are right the grayness is gone, replaced by glitter. Still, Prague nightlife is something worth experiencing.

Really, no frog? I have & not the fancy-schmancy, haute cuisine French kind. My family, on my Mom’s side, are Okies & will eat all sorts of… interesting things. (Yes, tastes like chicken…)
I’ve also eaten squirrel (Only once, as a child ~ ditto…chicken.) which is, I suppose, not too much different from sampling some guinea pig in Peru.
