"Formerly Londek Café, the slick little place still serves solid Polish classics like bigos — a cabbage and sausage hunter’s stew — and ever-changing specials. Plus, bread baskets with smalec — lard and crispy bacon bits — are delicious alone, or to dip into soups infused with spiced sausage and vegetables. Desserts of sugared pierogi, blueberry pancakes and brick-sized slices of cake provide a sweet ending to the hearty meals. White Goose is owned by Polish celebrity, Magda Gessler, who hosts Poland’s Kuchenne Rewolucje — a version of Kitchen Nightmares. —Shekha Vyas" - Stephen Buranyi
