Once synonymous with high crime and poverty, the easternmost suburb of Praga may be Warsaw's next SoHo. Local artists meet for live music at the Pracownia Krawiecka (1 Ul. Inzynierska; 48-50/616-3613), a café with flea-market décor. • A music enthusiast with a penchant for vintage vinyl opened the pub Lysy Pingwin (11 Ul. Zabkowska; 48-22/618-0256), with a menu of sandwiches and salads.• Koneser Vodka Factory is turning over some of its space to galleries such as the photo-centric Galeria Luksfera (27-31 Ul. Zabkowska; 48-22/618-5766; www.luksfera.pl). • Music labels and fashion designers throw glamorous parties at Centrum Artystyczne Fabryka Trzciny (14 Ul. Otwocka; 48-22/619-0513), which also doubles as a gallery.
