#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 there 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

##DRINK
Mulled beer, anyone?
Varsovians have many ways of beating the winter cold – we put on layers of clothes, try not to go out if we don’t have to, eat soup (esp. Vietnamese pho), drink Wedel hot chocolate or… drink something stronger. And while the ice-cold vodka is one option, most go for beer to spend more time in the warmth of a bar. And in wintertime, beer is just better when it’s warm, and flavored with spices like cloves and cinammon as well as ginger syrup! The bar at Solec 44 specializes in homemade mulled-beer syrups, but you’ll be able to order this typically Polish winter drink anywhere. Make sure you ask for grzane piwo (gzha-neh pivo)!
Where: most bars around Warsaw in winter season
How much: 10 PLN and up
