The center is located in the Historic Warszawa District of the Slavic Village. I ventured out to the museum as part of the Take a Hike Program showcasing Polish heritage. I was really impressed with the center, it's one of the more developed cultural centers in the city. I've been to quite a few - Slovenian, Ukrainian, Finnish, and Croatian. MUSEUM: The museum occupies two floors of the center. Every room focus on a certain theme. My favorite was Folk Room. It contained a vibrant selection of dolls, costumers, eggs, and wooden eggs. It likely resonated most with me due to the closeness of my own culture. Other rooms were dedicated to famous Polish figures, and periods in time (such as wars). Various rooms have gorgeous wooden Polish eagle plates, statues, paintings, and other art forms. It's a very comprehensive overview of culture. POLISH CLUB: The Polish Club is located in the basement. There is a hall and kitchen as well as the bar. During my time the club the ladies of the club cooked delicious pierogis and noodles. My favorite was refreshing Żywiec from Southern Poland with spring water. I'm not a big beer drinker but this beer was surprisingly bright and refreshing. You can access the Polish club by purchasing the membership on their site. Various tiers are available starting from $25 per year. EVENTS: Museum volunteers shared that various events are hosted at the center. There are Halloween and Thanksgiving celebrations with Polish twist, and upcoming concert series. PARKING: Parking is available at the parking lot across the street. It's well lit and guarded. I felt pretty safe despite this being not the best area. I recommend checking out this center to learn about Polish history and also neighborhood's rich history. Check out local Polish churches and establishments while in the area. I plan to be back for Polish concerts!

Pedal For Prizes is an annual free event open for participants to bike to 22 places throughout Old Brooklyn including famous-on-yelp businesses Jack Frost Donuts and the Sausage Shoppe and lesser known entities like the community garden at Benji and the nice houses on South Hills. Beginning at Loew Park, you're given a map of the locations and a card to be stamped at each of the locations. You or a group of your friends can visit as many or few as you want, in any order, as you explore Old Brooklyn. 3 hours later, return to Loew Park and exchange your stamp card for Chinese raffle tickets to be used on some cool prizes (gift certificates to Old Brooklyn businesses, bike stores, and other random items like Ambiance gift cards - haha). In 2010, PFP's first year, I won a bike helmet. This year's turn-out of nearly 400 [of all ages, it's kid-friendly] was impressive, only 60 did last year. With the overwhelming turn-out, the event ran relatively smoothly although the staff had to push back the raffle a half hour to accommodate all of the returning riders. I had a warm, fuzzy feeling in me all day by seeing so many people in Old Brooklyn and seeing what it has to offer. In only its 2nd year, Pedal For Prizes is becoming the signature event of Old Brooklyn.

The main level has been redone as a coffee shop with ample seating areas, and it was full of customers on a Thursday afternoon working on laptops and meeting with friends.

The high-quality Pendleton blankets have moved upstairs along with a vintage clothing room. They have a resident photographer and multiple event spaces available. Why run one small business when you put multiple offerings into one historic building?? I look forward to drinking a beer and listening to live music in the back when the weather warms up.

They have no ventilation or fans or windows in this ancient building so when the temperature was 89 outside, it was 101+ degrees in there! It was absolutely horrific and I'm not sure how the workers could stand it! Avoid coming here when temps are above 80 outside! Love their seasonal items up front and how items are arranged. Love the candles, the interesting scent oils and specially curated books they sell. Prices were rather high though and it's kind of a hodgepodge of things. There is an attached music venue and bar counter where you can buy hard and soft drinks. Bought a bottle of water and soda for $9! Soooo yeah...crazy prices for bottled drinks! The downstairs is an art gallery with local artists' work that you can buy and jewelry and stationery items! I think the shop is also attached on the side to a coffee shop so there are a few armchairs to sit, more books in that room and the only bathroom I noticed. Definitely a cute place to browse and pass time if you're waiting on something/someone!

The 78th Street Studios is a huge arts studio that also has a theatre on the 2nd floor called the Blank Canvas Theatre.

It's always nice walking around 78th street studios. It can get a little overwhelming because the building is so big and you may get lost but just follow the signs posted on the walls to find out where you're going.
