It didn’t have a Starbucks and it didn’t have Coffeeheaven, but even back in those days Warsaw had a thriving café culture. This wasn’t lost on Chopin who would frequent now defunct venues such as Pod Kopciuszkiem and Dziurka on ul. Miodowa. One venue that has survived is Honoratka (see Restaurants), named after it’s proprietor Honorata Zimerman, and a particular favourite stomping ground of the composer. He was also an avid reader, confessing to visiting the Brzezina Bookstore (again, now gone) on Miodowa every day, as well as stocking up on sheet music in Dal Trozza on Senatorska. Elsewhere the building on the corner of ul. Kozia and Trębacka formerly housed the Royal Post Office, and it’s here that Chopin forwarded his luggage from before departing Poland for what would prove to be his last time. Finally there’s Powązki Cemetery, where his parents lie in plot 9-IV-1. Józef Elsner, his mentor and teacher, can be found at plot 159-V-1.
