27 July 202029 July 2020 EVENTSSpokój w skansenie ustamagazyn_admin Nie da się ukryć, że pandemiczne wydarzenia zmieniły nasz sposób życia w mieście, korzystania z knajp, imprezowania. Kiedy myślimy o wyjątkowej kolacji, raczej nie planujemy już tak ochoczo wieczoru z menu degustacyjnym – chcemy czegoś na luzie, pragniemy oddechu. I na tę potrzebę odpowiada świetnie kolektyw KoperBernNowicki, tworząc miejsce spotkań w skansenie w Nowej Suchej oraz inauguracyjne wydarzenie pod nazwą „Uczta Nastroje”.
05 July 202003 August 2020 PLACESSingapore: Tourism in a new reality ustamagazyn_admin For Singapore, the long-awaited easing of restrictions is finally becoming a reality. The borders of the country are gradually opening up, although for now with reservations about the intensity of traffic, where visitors are coming from and their purpose of visit, and in accordance with the necessary security measures. What makes Singapore confident amidst this reality? First of all, it is a spirit of progress and innovation that is rooted in local culture and lifestyle. The city is constantly developing, learning, changing, and thanks to experience and advanced technologies, it shapes its own future. Everyone here feels part of this future.

12 October 201920 November 2019 PEOPLE, PLACESUnicorns and Escargots ustamagazyn_admin The first Charlotte opened in Zbawiciela Square 10 years ago and immediately won the hearts of the people of Warsaw. The concept of a French bistro that serves bread, sandwiches, cakes, coffee, and wine, in elegant atmosphere and yet in good prices, turned out a great success. Soon, another bistros started opening in Krakow, Wroclaw, and the second location in Warsaw. Today, the third Charlotte bistro in Warsaw opens its doors near the Charles de Gaulle roundabout. We have checked for you what the new Charlotte Bouillon is about, what’s new is in the menu and on the walls. We are discussing this successful gastronomy concept with co-founder Justyna Kosmala.
07 October 201909 October 2019 PEOPLE, EVENTSUSTA Magazine – The Classic ustamagazyn_admin The autumn issue of the USTA Magazine is already out. Let’s take a look what awaits you inside. Here is some sneak peak. The autumn season puts us in a nostalgic mood. Another summer has passed, the leaves are turning red, conkers and acorns are torpedoing the streets, and we are trying to keep poker faces up against the incoming chills and the looming winter in our beautiful country. At this time of the year, it is good to turn to proven methods of lifting oneself up. The classic forms and flavours. The quality, the elegance, the simplicity. The durability and the chance to rely on the tradition seem especially encouraging in the autumn/winter season. This is why we devoted a lot of attention to Vienna. We paid a visit to the Jarosinski & Vaugoin manufacture, which survived two centuries in the same place in the very heart of the city. We visited cafés and retro bars but we also ventured to discover the new, modern face of the Austrian capital. We also travelled to Miśnia to see ourselves how they create the most renowned porcelain in Europe.
20 September 201921 November 2019 PLACESThe First Bourbon Bar in Warsaw ustamagazyn_admin AURA bar is the first bourbon bar opened in Warsaw. It was born out of love for people and discussions over quality spirits, and obviously, love for American whiskey. The bar is located in the 19th century tenement house of Jochwet Taubenhouse in 27 Hoża Street. The two owners, who are privately friends, both have a solid experience in the gastronomy business, from bartender to owner.
18 September 201930 October 2019 EVENTSBeware of Jolly Dogs ustamagazyn_admin One of the most popular contemporary Polish cartoonists, author of funny pictures, the favourite of celebrities, famous for his dark humour – Bolesław Chromry has so far been recognised for his graphic novels and other related forms. We love his “Pokrzywy” (ENG. “Nettles”) or “Elementarz Polski dla Polaka i Polki z Polski”, (ENG. “ABC for a Polish Man and a Polish Woman from Poland”). We are happy to announce that Damian Siemień, who is also co-operating now with USTA, has debuted as a writer. His prose “Pozwólcie pieskom przyjść do mnie” (ENG.“Let the Little Dogs Come to Me”) tells the story of a meeting of three little dogs. Gizmo, Punio and Nikotynka unfortunately have no idea that their owners come from three different worlds. Unaware of the consequences of their carefree actions, the three jolly dogs lead to meetings that should never have happened. The cute story turns into a bloodcurdling criminal intrigue. It is also a portrait of the generation of the big-city thirty-year-olds – both rich and poor, eccentric and common, but still, strikingly similar. Yet again, Bolesław Chromry proves that the truth is the funniest. Below we bring back the interview with the artist. A Human-link Brilliant and melancholic commentator of the lacklustre life in Poland, that is nowhere. Bolesław Chromry tells us what it’s like to love Emma Bunton, what he likes about autumn and how to seclude oneself in a massive old block of flats.
11 September 201930 October 2019 PLACESSlowlife in the Izery Mountains ustamagazyn_admin If you dream about going to the mountains, it is worth considering a less-visited part of the Sudety Mountains. Stay away from the crowded Zakopane or popular Bieszczady. Instead, discover the far less touristic Izery Mountains. It is there that Łukasz Witkowski and Piotr Lichniak created KWIECI – a boutique guesthouse. They decided to change their lives by transforming an over 100-year old school into a low-key guesthouse. They preserved some of the original elements of the building, added a little bit of modern design and a lot of their love and enthusiasm.
