    ...we better get used to them with Autumn now undeniably upon us. So what to do on such rain and wind swept days? How about a movie matinee in one of Tricity's cosy, alternative cinemas?       W Starym Kadrze cafe not only has an impressive coffee, tea and dessert menu, but also shows a variety of classic and cult films every day at 2pm, 5pm and 8pm -

 Have you been to see the wonderful "Ribbon Concerto" open-air installation by graphic artist Jerzy Janiszewski? Don't miss it! It will remain on display at the Wielki Młyn Square until 30 September 2012. If you really want to see the ribbons dance, go on a windy day ;-)       Text and photography © Agata Kruszewska

This lovely 'time machine' recently popped up on Gdańsk's cafe scene. Wile away the afternoon at Retro cafe with a friend or a good book at one of the big windows overlooking the garden in the back... listening to 1920's melodies and soaking up the retro atmosphere created in this comfy, softly lit space. The menu has over 30 varieties of tea, delicious coffees and retro cocktails,

Thank you to the International Street & Open-Air Theatres Festival FETA for another great weekend (12-15 July 2012) of weird and wonderful shows, installations and parades. Even the decidedly un-summery weather couldn't put a damper on the fun! Can't wait until next year☺ Photography and text © Agata Kruszewska

It's that time of year again! The International Street & Open-Air Theatres Festival FETA is starting today and will be entertaining Gdańsk right through to Sunday (12-15 Feb 2012). The Gdańsk Lower Town and old suburbs area and its adjoining fortifications, St Gertrude and Żubr Bastions and Reduta Wilk, will be transformed once again into an open-air wonderland of

The beautiful, snowy landscape and the glare of the winter sun is enough to make me want to brave the minus 10 degree weather and head out for a Sunday stroll. Luckily I have yummy little treats waiting for me when I get home! Made fresh this morning, these French pastry apple squares are so easy to put together, I think these photos will be enough to inspire you to make

Milach spent six years with seven people in three Russian cities: Moscow, Yekaterinburg and Krasnoyarsk. The series "7 rooms" depict Russians in their thirties and their surroundings. The people are

Recently the cold, wet weather and eternally grey skies have given me a serious bout of the winter blues!  In an attempt to lift my mood I went in search of some beautiful flowers to brighten up my day and my home. Specialist florist Aljavi has a gorgeous selection of fresh cut and potted blooms directly imported from Holland. The owner is a passionate, chatty lady who takes

In the heart of one of the loveliest neighbourhoods of Gdańsk, old Oliwa, is a cinema lover's visual delight called Kafe Delfin. This charismatic café and pub, named after the former cinema Delfin, is decorated with salvaged cinema furniture, fixtures and equipment, creating a retro cinematic style. By day it's a cosy place to stop in for a warm drink and a piece of

A savoury regional beer, hot wine with spices which will warm your body & soul on a winter evening or a scrabble round with a friend? There is no better place to have it all in Gdańsk than Café Lamus. We found this place very inspiring, so we decided to have a small photo session there. Café Lamus was opened only a few months ago, but it has already

Do you like listening to live music in charming, cosy places? If so, you have to visit the recently opened You +1'd this publicly. Undo Café Alegoria in Wrzeszcz. The owners say that they wanted to create a place which would join culture with tasty titbits.There were not too many places like that in Wrzeszcz, so their idea to add some more cultural energy was great.

Autumn has come to the Tri-city to stay. The sunny weather, crisp, fresh air drilling our nostrils, and the long distance visibility is great for strolls at the seaside. One of my favourite places to walk is the beach and pier (molo) in Sopot.  Sopot Molo is the longest wooden pier on the Baltic coast. It was built at the end of 19th century and it is over
