OFF Piotrkowska



If you’re wondering what can you do in such beautiful city like Lodz, there is only one answer, nothing! Stay at home and barricade your doors! I’m kidding :D. Lodz is a very specific place, comparable to the  Detroit. We can take it for granted that its times of greatness are far away behind, but…Yes there is a "but"!

There are many interesting and fascinating places and the one of them is for sure OFF Piotrkowska. It’s a project created by Michal Stys. The main purpose of this investment is association of the creative industry. We can find there designers' and architects' workshops, music clubs, restaurants, exhibition places, rehearsal rooms, showrooms and concept stores. Everything is placed in old Ramisch’s cotton factory. ‘Never judge a book by its cover’, without any doubts this proverb match this place perfectly. At first sight, there is nothing beyond old, shabby buildings made of bricks, but this is only how it looks like from the outside. Inside is a pumping space filled with people where the  magic happens! I didn’t have the opportunity to visit all of the spots, but ‘Daleko Blisko’ is one of the most climatic coffee shop I have ever been to! It’s the mix of  good food and beer by day and tales from around the world by night. If you want to buy some clothes, you must visit ‘Sklad rzemiosl pieknych’. If you want to taste palm fruit soup, drop in to ‘MEG MU African food’. Printing photos? ‘Tkalnia obrazow’ is waiting for you! Good OFF-mainstream music? ‘Dom’ is the place where you will feel the bass! I could describe everything what you can find on OFF Piotrkowska but I won’t do this. Why? You must go there and explore it by yourself!

Below I’m posting a map, which will show you how get there!
