Sunday, Adar 3, 5778. February18, 2018. Shalom! World. Situated Szeroka 30, Kazimierz, Kraków/Poland. The idea of that place comes from one of the Bruno Schulz's novels  - The Street of Crocodiles. It is located in the passage between Szeroka Street and Ciemna Street. Cheap pop, and a drinking atmosphere do not match the sentiment interior, but reflect the spirit of Schulz's street - the tainted, the cheap, and the tacky. The Café Ulica Krokodyle is a very special place to spend a precious time on Kazimierz. It seems a secret place with a magic window.
