Sometimes called the ‘yesterday’s menu soup’, żurek is a dish that has been enjoyed by many generations of Poles.
There are as many recipes for cooking zurek as there are regions of Poland. It is made differently in Krakow (with vegetables) than in Kielce, Podlasie, Namyslow and elsewhere. The one essential, common ingredient is the leaven made of fermented rye flour with a piece of whole-meal bread crust.
One of the best clubs in Cracow. Opens at 4.00 p.m. and goes on till the last customer. Two bars, big dance floor, lots of young people having fun, and location – 5 minutes walk from the Main Market Square, on the way to another party hub – Kazimierz.
Chimera is both a restaurant (located in the cellars at the corner of sw. Anny St and the Main Square) and a salad bar (in the cellars and a backyard garden in the middle of sw. Anny St.).
International Women’s Day is marked on March 8th every year. It is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women.
Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries (primarily Russia and the countries of former Soviet bloc). In some celebrations, the day lost its political flavor, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love to the women around them in a way somewhat similar to Mother’s Day and St Valentine’s Day mixed together. In others, however, the political and human rights theme as designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner.
In March free jazz will rule in the Alchemia club. And that of the highest level. In the catacombs, masters of the Chicago school and the greatest names in young Polish jazz will be enchanting us with their sounds.
