so pleasant, diner-sheikh

by louisglass

Ah! Little Poland. The name rings out clear as a bellpepper stufffed with a hearty meat concoction, which I hope is just beef (though I know deep down contains pork ((I don't eat pork)). I used to read, work, hangout here a lot. The french fries have always been my favorite, for years, since my first visit circa 2002. Crisp, oily, hearty. No holds barred. The perrogies are a favorite of mine, mixing in a set of potato and cheese, and always boiled though fried is an option. I love the goulash. I love the nova omelette. I love the service, nice older women who smile so bright with any attempt at a Polish phrase. And then every once in a while, a younger Polish server, and I'm not trying to be sexist, but what can I write? It all adds to the ambiance. Good Lord, I'm soooo lonely....but basically, this is a Polish-based diner with really hearty fair and fairly traditional food. I suppose its as Polish as Chinese food is Chinese?but it is delicious and the value is dynamite if you get a dinner and it comes with two vege sides. Man. Good times.

• Pros: great food, value, service.
• Cons: Its a diner. If you don't like charming diners this isn't for you.

Best Polish Food

by AnnaDavidson

My father was born in Poland and my grandmother lived with us for many years. I have not had food as good as Little Poland's since I was young. Little Poland's food may even be better.

Food , service and coffee was perfect. My husband is Irish and he can not stop talking about the great Polish food. He wants me to cook him something similar - but he will have to wait until our next trip to NYC.

• Pros: Food, Coffee

A Taste of Poland in Downtown

by WestLondona

An unpretentious diner-style place on 2nd ave, Little Poland is my place of choice whenever I crave some good Polish food. Though the interior looks quite American, the waitresses are all Polish and the food definitely tastes authentic. Their pierogi are some of the best i've had in the city. And as a surprising bonus, their banana pancakes are a must-try, any time of the day!

• Pros: delicious food, cheap compared to everything around it
• Cons: ambience
