What restaurants near the museum have good Polish food?
JL: There’s only a small one, Podhalanka. They have a very good soup menu with about three or four soups that are very, very hearty, and pierogi, and a full a la carte menu. Now, a similar food is Ukrainian, and I’ve taken people to Old Lviv, which is on Chicago Avenue. So, if you want Slavic food, you’ve got these two places to choose from. If you go further up north, there’s a whole bunch of Polish restaurants, as well as some very good restaurants on the South Side — Szalas being one of them, which specializes in Polish Highlander food. That’s around Archer, west of Pulaski. Interview conducted by Kristen Romanowski.
