About this tour
This session looks at the round market hall at the centre of Plac Nowy, originally built as a kosher butchers' hall. You see the building's exterior first, then the stalls inside that now serve the square's late-night food scene. It is a look at how one small building's purpose has completely changed over the decades.
We start outside with a short sound check, then move inside for a look at the stalls. I explain the building's original purpose and its more recent history as we go, taking questions throughout. A short list of stalls follows by message afterwards.
It suits anyone who has already tried zapiekanka and wants the fuller story of the square. It also pairs well with an evening session on Kazimierz's bars.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city
