New Wave Cafe

I would dearly love to see this place in action on some hoppin' Saturday night.

As we sampled our tasty borschts, both red and white, on a quiet afternoon after food shopping our way around the hood, it was all left to my imagination: What goes on here here at night?

By day the Polish news hums in the background as do conversations in Polish too; mostly held by older gentlemen at the bar eating lunch with brown bread and a beer.
As we enjoyed our icy cold Zywiecs in frosty mugs at the dark wood bar, I took in the scene.

There are mirrored walls, disco balls, a peculiar mural of outer space.. and the signs with the camera on them which remind you, "WARNING All activities are recorded to aid in the prosecution of any crime committed against this facility..."  

Well, a midday Polish beer drinking and soup slurping was all that was being captured during our visit, but I'm gonna get to the bottom of this mysterious place some night. What goes on?!

Went here after Syrenkas on our Polish food tour on a Sat afternoon.  High standards were set, because we were all pretty pleased with what they had to offer.  Most of us ordered some different Polish beers and were all satisfied with our choices.  My friend got tripe soup and said it was the best he ever had.

The table shared the black sausage, beet salad, potato pancakes, kielbasa and potato and cheese pierogies.  The potato pancakes were a little greasy and not crispy enough for me.  But that didn't stop me from eating two of them.  The piergoies here we ordered fried, while good, I prefer them steamed.  The kielbasa we got fried instead of boiled and we all thought it was great; the girlfriend in particular LOVED it with mustard.  

We loved that the quality of food did not dip with the addition of a full bar.  Being able to drink beer and eat delicious food cannot be underrated enough.

The food is good here. It's very "home cooked" type of food. Nothing special, but very tasty comfort food.

The atmosphere is strange. It's like old neighborhood Port Richmond bar, that has a dj spinning sometimes.

It is kind of overpriced for the type of food they serve.
