Notes from a Warsaw weekend

Proof of life
Oysters on ice and pierogi
Food Na wodzieOysters on ice, gold rings, a black box of dumplings.
Poke bowl on a Vistula riverbank
River Nad WisłąBare feet, warm planks, the skyline across the water.
Belle Époque staircase
Interior Belle ÉpoqueWrought iron and rose-and-sage paneling. You wouldn't think this is Warsaw.
