USA, Canada / Polish restaurant in metro Washington DC area? [20]

There is a Russian Restaurant in Herndon, VA -

russiahouserestaurant.com - not exactly what you are looking for, but it is European, and there is something on the menu similar to Pierogi.

I think there will be a Polish festival at some point during the year - you might want to check out the Embassy of Poland website.

How do you like it here so far? I live in Virginia.

Travel / Just back from Krakow [120]


That was my experience in Prague, too!! 3 Brits followed me & my friend around for quite a while in a crude manner of attempting to "flirt" and inviting us to come & drink with them. These guys were on a bachelor stag party weekend. Horrible behavior, not at all what I have experienced from Europeans. But then Britain is not Europe.

The Not Smiling Thing in Krakow is ridiculous. Who walks around with smiles on face all day? Hmmm. In my travels, lets talk "not smiling" Londoners (probably 'cause everything is soooo pricey there) and not a whole lot of happy smiles in certain places in Germany, either. I found Krakow to have a very relaxed yet proper feel... and everyone looked like they were have a nice time to me!

Food / Bread Baking in Poland [65]

There is no bread in the world as good as Polish Bread. Sigh. I have had Polish Croissants too... don't know what they are called in Polish.... but the pasty was light & crispy & they were shaped list a crescent and filled with this amazing apricot filling. Yum.

Life / Polish Dance/Techno music [49]

I loved the music in Poland - the one radio station I always listen to JAMS.

Tried to get my friend to help me find some CDs but she's not a dancin' girl like I am.

When I am in Wroclaw in the spring I will go to the music store again.
