#CONCERT
Rock the Palace!
This Friday two theaters to the right and left of the main entrance of the Palace of Culture and Science will become concert stages hosting some of Poland’s hottest bands, both those well-established as well as those on the rise. Head to Dramatyczny on the left to hear the jazz&rockman Waglewski with his hip-hop/garage rock sons Fisz and Emade as well as indie sensations Dawid Podsiadło and Rebeka, as well crazy insect-costume-wearing rockers from Łąki Łan. If you’d like to learn about the new hot names in the Polish music business, stay to the left of the entrance and sip a drink in Cafe Kulturalna while listening to Dont Panic! We’re from Poland Showcase. Or, go to Studio Bar on the right for crooner and part-time hardrock vocalist Gaba Kulka. Worth every złoty you spend! Click here for lineups.
Where: Palace of Culture and Science, Dramatyczny and Studio Theaters and Cafe Culturalna (entrance from Marszałkowska, Dramatyczny

#FOOD
Everything but chicken breast
Feel like trying something different than pierogi, but still 100% Polish? Head for “Piąta ćwiartka” inside Kubicki Arcades of the Royal Castle to try some of the best viscera (i.e. animal parts you would not normally consider eating) out there. The fancy interiors call for equally fancy cuisine; menu includes veal brain, cow tongue, chicken liver and the famous tripe soup, all deliciously prepared to leave you with the task of pondering over the ambiguity of the Polish saying “through the stomach to the heart” (i.e. feed someone well to win them over). Check out the menu in the “Details” link below – your less adventurous companions will be relieved to know the are meat-free dishes available, too (like pancakes with plums)
And use the lovely weather to stroll through the castle gardens (there’s even a maze!)
Where: Piąta ćwiartka (The Fifth Quarter) in Kubicki Arcades, entrance from Bugaj and Grodzka Street as well as through the Castle.

When: 12-5PM, closed on Mondays
