There are many pierogarnias in Poland, but this one is especially delightful. It is located just outside of the old town on quiet Dluga Street.The interior is homey and mock-rustic. You can sit wherever you'd like, look over the menu (in Polish!), and then go to the counter to order. Your meal is ready within a few minutes.For just 14 zloty, you can get soup and six pierogi. They have many varieties from my favorite (mushroom and cabbage) to meat to vegetables to chocolate to fruit to pig lung. Yes, I tried the pig lung pierogi, and I have to say it tasted pretty good, but I just had one and let my friend finish his own plate.The tomato soup was delicious, as was the zurek, a sour rye soup with potatoes and sausage.I also must insist that you try one of their traditional Polish drinks: awas chlebowy (bread based) or podpiwek (beer based). I don't even like beer, but I found the podpiwek especially refreshing—it has just a slight beer taste, and it's very sweet.Don't forget to take your dishes to the counter when you leave!
