'''Wola''' [http://www.wola.waw.pl/] is a district of Warsaw. The word ''wola'' means "willingness" in Polish. It has traditionally been the industrial district of Warsaw but this is now changing as it is rapidly becoming the commercial center of the city. Wola is further divided into '''Mirow''', '''Nowolipki''' (adjacent to '''Muranow''' in ?rodmie?cie), '''Pow?zki''', '''M?ynow''', '''Czyste''', '''Odolany''', '''Ulrychow''' and '''Ko?o'''.

  • Chicago's. l. ?elazna 41. 48 (0/22) 89 00 999. ttp://www.chicagos.com. Chicago's is a Route 66 themed eatery that cooks up typical American fare. Upon first entering the restaurant you'll be greeted by no one and you'll need to impose yourself upon an inattentive staff to be able to order. Although the staff is apathetic and somewhat rude, when they are attending to customers, the kitchen is rather quick and makes basic, but good food. The bar has a fair selection of alcohol to choose from, if the bartender will even greet you. If you want more of an Americanized eatery, but demand decent service head over to T.G.I. Fridays, or, for even better service, go to the Hard Rock Cafe.

This restaurant seems as though it might cater to out of towners, given it's ex-Soviet kitschy atmosphere (complete with PRI-inspired menu), but one can usually find it populated with locals having a get-together on weekend evenings. In those days, the site of the restaurant was an Inn which housed many notorious communist dignitaries and other notables. The menu itself is printed in the style of a newspaper (cheaper items under the heading "PROLETARIAT" and higher-priced items "FOR DIGNITARIES AND BOURGEOISIE").

Unassuming, Kultura is a treasure of cafe that is often overlooked and rarely crowded, though, it does draw crowds on occasion. Here, the baristas have mastered the art of coffee and fail to overlook even the most minuscule details - even serving you a glass of water with your coffee and a chocolate. Kultura also serves food and alcohol, albeit, its selection of alcohol is a tad limited.

At first glance the club is a wreck, especially due to the the club's out-of-the-way locale, with some of the shadiest DJing ever, but venturing further in actually will reveal a second dance floor with better DJing and chart topping music. For the most part, the club is hit or miss and probably won't be a very memorable night out, unless you're one of the people half-engaged in intercourse on the sofas.
