#FOOD
The life of Warsaw
“Życie Warszawy” or the “Life of Warsaw” was a local newspaper that stopped being published a few years ago. It now is a typical Warsaw bar with a twist, escaping the 4zł shot and 8zł sausage formula. At just a tad higher prices, ŻW offers better quality alcohol and more interesting local food, all in the city center! Examples: baked potato dumplings with cheese – 6zł, liver with mushrooms in cream – 9zł, beef tongue in horseradish sauce – 12zł, prosecco – 6zł, Jack Daniels – 10 zł. Go for it!

Lounge chairs and picnic attractions will be organized for kids and grown-ups throughout the park. Guests to the anniversary picnic will be treated to a pączek or Polish doughnut – 10000 of these have been prepared!
