db1874: where on Polna though? it's quite a long street. cheers
The half of Polna that's north of al. Armia Ludowa running from their to pl. Politechniki. Very close to the southern entrance to metro Politechnika - if you come out of the metro by the huge office block, it's behind that. The market is a seventies building with a discotheque upstairs.
It's a curious place. Nowadays big supermarkets have most of the things people need and MiniEuropa has plenty of exotic stuff, but during the PRL (and a few years after) that was the only place to get certain imported things.
Even ten years ago I remember seeing Americans (looking furtive because apparently they're not allowed to back home) buying Cuban cigars, and foreign diplomats buying exotic fruit and vegetables.
It isn't as good as it was, but is still the best bet for something like that.
