MDM Warsaw
A taste of Communist architecture
Stefano from Warsaw
Once upon a time there was Plac Konstitucij. Don't get me wrong, it is still there, but in the '50s a couple of additions were made. The small streets were hidden and in the middle of the square socio-realist buildings were placed that in the last decade have been added to the list of the historical buildings of the city.
Personally, I find them fascinating, especially because they are decorated with gigantic sculptures that define what communism was about.
The inhabitants of the city will not tell you to have a look at them or read about their history because they find them unattractive. Still, I think it is a piece of history.
Surprising is the cocktail of different architecture that we can find around the square, a couple of blocks further there is a "French street" that was supposed to imitate Paris.
Sit around (there are several spots already spotted) and contemplate how history is there and we almost forgot.

Okienko
French? No, Belgian!
"Okienko" Warsaw had a simple idea: just fries; only the pure delight and magic of a potato. They have plenty of recipes for their own (even vegan!) sauces
