Today I went to the Palace of Science and Culture and checked out the views of Warsaw from the Taras widokowy. This building was the same place I went to last night for the alternative bar. The building was built during the Russian occupation as a gift to the Polish people. It is the highest building in eastern europe. The architecture is very reminiscent of the time period. Although the weather was a bit grey, the views were spectacular. The Taras offers a 360 degree view of Warsaw and is a must for any visitor. I spent the rest of day sightseeing on foot and enjoyed some local cuisine. I had an authentic Polish lunch at Barmleczna which translate to Milky bar. Very authentic, no tourists. The food was good and very inexpensive. After lunch I went to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising museum. It was worth the visit, but I thought did a very poor job on the lighting for thexhibits. After a long day of walking, I enjoyed a pizza from a local celebrity chef Magda Gessler. It was good, but I'm spoiled and long for a slice from New York.
