Come to Chicago and it will blow New York’s Little Poland out of the water! There is no Little Poland here because the entire city is built on Poles! You can’t go anywhere without hearing some one speak Polish or seeing an ad for Kielbasa or Zywiec! Na zdrowie!

When my brother moved to Brooklyn several years back, he remarked that he was living in the middle of the Polonia community. To him, it was out of this world. They all spoke Polish and ignored anyone who spoke English. A quote from him: “Yeah, it’s the only place I’ve seen someone stumble out of a bar, cannot-stand-up-drunk, at like two in the afternoon. On a Wednesday.”

Lolly – I’m sure if you go to Ealing, you can find a bit of Little Poland there

I have been to Greenpoint a couple of years ago in December. The streets were nicely decorated for Christmas and I could have a Polish lunch without having to cook it myself (not many Polish traces of Poland here in my part of Florida).

Now I am jealous because I haven’t seen Litle Poland – another excuse to go back to New York next year. Didn’t see the Polish poster exhibition either…

I didn’t see any French things whislt over there apart from a French flag flying on the Upper East
