Karpaty (CLOSED)

Taking in a Patti Smith or New Pornographers show at Warsaw, a block away? Fill up first on freshly made pierogis, roasted kielbasas and shredded beets in sugar just like somebody’s Polish grandmother used to make. At the counter, order steaming plates of veal meatballs, braised pork ribs and more. Along with simple wooden tables and benches, the decor includes hunting trophies, Christmas lights and knickknacks from a Warsaw Elks Lodge. It’s BYOB, so stop at a nearby deli to pick up Zywiec beer, and then go rock and roll.
