9 Champions of Breakfast in Kraków
“We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane.”
― Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Breakfast of Champions
Rise and shine, it’s 7:15am in Kraków, your fridge is empty or the hotel you’re staying at offers a very standard breakfast option. You’re about to go to work or out to explore the city. Your head is already in the office or wondering where to go sightseeing today. Your stomach, however, is focused on something else. They say it is the most important meal of the day. Myth or truth, we couldn’t care less.
