Good evening to you and thank you for producing this helpful video. I arrived to Częstochowa today (May 19, 2022) and went to your recommended restaurant Topoliino. The food and service were excellent there. Much appreciated your kind suggestions and food recommendations. Danny (Denver)

I grew up (and still live) in a small town in N.E. Pennsylvania. It was primarily a coal mining town back in the day as was most of the area. Almost all of the small towns and hamlets were pretty much the same except that the immigrants that came to work the mines settled in different towns to keep with their 'own people' (don't get me wrong - we all considered ourselves Americans first and got along). My town, Nanticoke, was pretty much all Polish people, so I was raised with many of the Polish customs and foods, and my Parish was St. Mary Of Czestochowa. Thanks so much for giving me a glimpse of the place that she came from - that big, scratched-up icon of her on the building was painted on the wall at the main altar...exactly the same image. It looks like a beautiful place in a beautiful country, and I consider you lucky to be living there. I think you do too. Na zdrowie. :)
Great Job. I am proud that someone from other country is happy with living in my City, not only complaining like local people. (pl)Dobra robota. Jestem dumny, że ktoś z innego kraju jest zadowolony z życia w moim mieście, nie tylko narzeka jak miejscowi ludzie.
@siwuz84 Nikt nikogo nie zmusza do pracy w 4 brygadówkach (sam szukałem długo wykwalifikowanych pracowników), Wystarczy się nauczyć języka(A sporo różnych kursów językowych w Częstochowie mamy) i "uciec" z resztą którzy wyemigrowali za wiele lepszą kasą w ciągu ostatniej dekady.

@@kamis0226 It was in the 90s. Long time ago. I was just a kid who was very excited about the trip because that was the first time I went so far away from home. Maybe that's why I have fond memories of Częstochowa. I haven't been there since so I can't really say much about the city.
Terrific video! I go to Warsaw often, and I have visited other cities but never Częstochowa. I would like to one day. It’s funny how you mention burgers. I tell my friends all the time that American food is treated as a cuisine in Poland, not as a place for expats to go because they don’t want to enjoy Polish food. Poland has some excellent food across many different cuisines. You will never be bored when eating! I am American, by the way!
Thank you for creating such a wonderful video! It came up on my yt home page and its so nice to see this video about my home town! Especially after living in london for 16 years now!
Hi Russel, Nice meeting you last week randomly. I went Częstochowa because of this video and followed your advice on coffee shops Pierogi Q restaurant. I am more of a Mets fan than a Yankee fan, though I don’t follow sports that closely. Thanks for your videos!
Hi Russell I’m Galit from Israel and I love your channel, I’ve been in Poland 10 times, (used to live in Chicago) I just came back from Kraków I also visit Czestochowa, on the very most special day in the year: last Thursday, thank you very much for your all recommendations🙏🏻
Trzeba się wybrać - byłem chyba w 2001 w Częstochowie, służbowo, wtedy poza Jasną Górą, to miasto było nieco zapyziałe. Zresztą jak wszystko wtedy w PL poza największymi miastami. Porównanie mam - mieszkałem w Warszawie, ale jestem z Radomia (który zresztą od kilku lat jest zdecydowanie się poprawił i jest miastem do życia - szału nie ma, ale w końcu Radom staje się średniej wielkości miastem, w którym da się spokojnie żyć.
@@krzysztofj1993 obecnie to od 2001 roku, to przede wszystkim jest więcej restauracji, kawiarni, lepszych dróg, wyremontowali aleje, postawili galerię i tyle z takich ciekawych zmian. Reszta to mało znaczące drobnostki.
Nice looking place. I’ve been in Zoran Marina in Warsaw for 3 days now. The last time we spoke, I was leaving the States. Thank you, for teaching me more about Poland.
My home town in Poland is Częstochowa but unfortunately I have to live in England! Thanks for showing off this beautiful city! Continue your awesome work
It is a life-long dream and desire for me to visit Czestochowa some day! There is a little hamlet an hour away from me by car called Czestochowa with a little chapel dedicated to the Black Madonna. I am so glad for your family and you that you can live there and thanks for sharing your videos with us.
Hello to everyone in Czestochowa. (I am actually using my mom's RUclips account for this, my name is Attila, I'm a Turkish-American). We lived in your city from 1975-76 when my late Turkish worked for General Electric which had a partnership with the steel factory in your city. All the best to all of you. Enjoyed this video as well....
Something about restaurants: Good pizza is in "Dom pizzy i wina". You'll find it near Empik (3rd Avenue) and Sienkiewicz's high school (and one of the best high school in voivodeship). It's located between those dwo and Jasna Góra.
This video brought back so many memories...my grandparents lived in Czestochowa so I used to go there...unfortunately they passed away long time ago so i do not visit Czestochowa any more...I can tell it is changing and becoming such a vibrant and modern city...worth visiting for sure...I am surprised you were able to show Jasna Gora and Aleje without crowds 😀
I come from the most religious part of Poland and I certainly experienced a culture shock when I first visited my husband's hometown ( Czestochowa) and learned that people were not nearly as devout in the 'holy city'. Conversely, coming to my hometown was a culture shock for him. We were passing a church on a Sunday and he asked in amazement 'what is happening here? What are all these people doing here?' He'd never before seen a full church on a regular Sunday :)
As someone who lived in Częstochowa for few years, I have to say that this is a really good review! I would also add BywaSięTuITam and Yem Tu to the must visit places. BywaSięTuITam is a pub with great people working there and Yem Tu is the best restaurant with asian cuisine. Serdecznie pozdrawiam! :)
If you ever have a chance, plese see my home city of Tarnów, it is about 150km from Częstochowa and about half of its size, I find it absolutely underrated as a tourist attraction, it has a renaissance Main Square and old City Hall and a medieval cathedral with some houses around it that come from 14th century! and they are all original since Tarnów escaped most of the WW1 and WW2 carnage.Did I also mention a remains of the medieval castle on the St Martin Mountain nearby?
@@betelgezaa Foundations and some basement chamber's remains. But once you are there there is a magnificent vista 360 around. Tarnow lays in such a spot that north of it are flatlands and south of it there are the Carpathians slowly climbing up. St Martin Mountain is the first hill, they go higher the more south you go.
Łysy2 only foundations and basement chamber have remained......maybe for the sake of stunning views stretching from the old castle it is worth to see though.
@@betelgezaa Yes it is...and there is a very nice watering hole nearby after you are stunned by the view, it is a good idea to chill down with a nice cold brew :)

One correction: the two scars on the Madonna's cheek are much older than the Swedish invasion. They date back to the Hussite wars of the 15th century. The icon itself is, obviously, even older.
Szkoda ze nie przedstawiłeś choc jednej fotki z wnętrza Jasnej Gory Sanktuarium i Kościoła. To było chyba jedyne miejsce w Polsce, które nie zostało zrabowane przez Niemców w IIWS
Thank you. It was a pleasure. I was there at/on Jasna Gora so many years ago, can't remember nearly anything... didn't see the city at all - that's why I enjoyed your video so much. Nice to see my Poland shown by an American. Lucky you. 😉 Jealous me. 😁
Czenstochowa - been their a number of times, very nice city. You mentioned having beer baths at the local browar - I am not sure if I would leave the tub at all. LOL For interesting baths and a future RUclips try going to Ustron the Uzdrowisko town about 2 hours drive south or you. Here you can take a mud bath zabieg where you strip down and the give you a male G-string. Then you lie in a bed and the pour hot mud all over you and wrap you up in blankets for about 10-15 minutes. Then you get out and the nurse hoses you down with a version of a Karcher power washer - sorry it does not clean all voids and mud is evident for at least a day or two after. Other zabiegs could be the Cryotreatment where you are given a touque (Canadian for a hat) and gloves and go into a room at -30C for some minutes - note that everything shrinks. Come down and try some of these for your "Love My Poland" RUclipss. Keep up the great work - I get a huge chuckle from all these as the really hit home. Take Care and Keep COVID safe.😎
Really great job!! Can't wait to see more places! I have been to Czestochowa lots of time and the road from Katowice takes forever because of the road.. Anyways I love watching your vlogs and see your point of view !
i wish all Polish people talk about Poland like You, i'm proud off being Polish, in Your videos it's more about our culture than we can learn in school, keep it up good work, THX,can't wai'ton video from my city Lodz, see You in there, if U need some info hit me up
When I studied in Częstochowa in 1999-2001 (on the WSL college) I would frequently visit the Grota pub (i don't think it exists anymore) and the Zanzibar club.
GREAT job ,Russell - "Chesty" is a beautiful place. And, your narration was fantastic. I'm thinking that Mike Rowe - the narrator for "Deadliest Catch" - is nervous now!!😀 If I ever get to visit, I'll have to check-out ALL THREE (# Amurican appetite) of those restaurants: the Italian restaurant; the Pierogi Bar ("Don't be a Burak, try our Zurek.") AND the cool, Medieval-themed restaurant. Lastly, would it be possible - in future videos - to do some on-screen interviews with residents? If not, no problem at all. PS As a gearhead, I HOPE my car has some Częstochowa parts in it!!😀👍
Just an idea or a suggestion - in Southeatern Poland there was once a significant number of Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholics. The Orthodox built beautiful and charming wooden churches. Due to WWII and the subsequent Operation Vistula, there was a lot of forced migration. The Lemkos (Rusyns) were pretty much forced out. I have found the history of these people interesting.
I saw this American flag the other day while walking past the street and I was wondering why is it there. I had no idea that I would run into this video. Wonderful video mate
I've found some words used in road slang, you can use them for one episode "Differences between ENG and PL in road slang". Here are the suggestions, which I heard in Częstochowa and maybe in other regiong there are more expressions: 1. When you start running out of fuel, then it beeps and in Poland some guys tell this thing "bailiff" (in Polish "komornik") 2. Tram is often called "przecinak" ("chisel" in English) 2. TAXI driver and often cab are called "złotówa" (and I can't translate this thing in English, so I don't even try to translate it)
I really like the pronunciation of polish words. I'm guessing the author may be quite fluent with polish language, full respect. Częstochowa is my city although I'm leaving abroad many years...
Zuzel or Speedway is popular but not quite like in Poland in some US States i am from Rzeszow but lived in Canada for 27 years now and there are speedway tracks in California most well known is in Costa Mesa as well as upstate New York(track in Owego) and Bruce Penhall of USA was speedway World Champion in 1981 and 1982.

Genialne jest to mieszanie Polskich i Angielskich słów
Genialne? To oszpecanie języka Polskiego.
@@JanKowalski-gu7cj ale czego wymagasz od kogoś z zagranicy?
@@JanKowalski-gu7cj ortografia, a język polski pozostanie piękny 😉
One correction: the two scars on the Madonna's cheek are much older than the Swedish invasion. They date back to the Hussite wars of the 15th century. The icon itself is, obviously, even older.
Szkoda ze nie przedstawiłeś choc jednej fotki z wnętrza Jasnej Gory Sanktuarium i Kościoła. To było chyba jedyne miejsce w Polsce,
które nie zostało zrabowane przez Niemców w IIWS
Thank you. It was a pleasure. I was there at/on Jasna Gora so many years ago, can't remember nearly anything... didn't see the city at all - that's why I enjoyed your video so much. Nice to see my Poland shown by an American. Lucky you. 😉 Jealous me. 😁
Czenstochowa - been their a number of times, very nice city. You mentioned having beer baths at the local browar - I am not sure if I would leave the tub at all. LOL For interesting baths and a future RUclips try going to Ustron the Uzdrowisko town about 2 hours drive south or you. Here you can take a mud bath zabieg where you strip down and the give you a male G-string. Then you lie in a bed and the pour hot mud all over you and wrap you up in blankets for about 10-15 minutes. Then you get out and the nurse hoses you down with a version of a Karcher power washer - sorry it does not clean all voids and mud is evident for at least a day or two after. Other zabiegs could be the Cryotreatment where you are given a touque (Canadian for a hat) and gloves and go into a room at -30C for some minutes - note that everything shrinks. Come down and try some of these for your "Love My Poland" RUclipss. Keep up the great work - I get a huge chuckle from all these as the really hit home. Take Care and Keep COVID safe.😎
Really great job!! Can't wait to see more places! I have been to Czestochowa lots of time and the road from Katowice takes forever because of the road.. Anyways I love watching your vlogs and see your point of view !
im from poland and my city is czestochowa . love from poland for you
Jak bym wiedział że nagrywasz to pomachał bym Ci z okna z żółtej kamienicy za Tobą ;) Oczywiście łapa w górę. Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
It's 143.0 km
via DK1 and A4 OR
128.8 km via DK1 and DK94.
I have no idea what/where DK1, DK94 and A4 are, though!!😀
Dobra robota chłopie!
Właśnie jadę do Częstochowy:D
You're doing a good job for Czestochowa. I hope that one day the city council will thank you, for what you do.
I think that would be more like a punishment. Wolalbym sie wyprowadzic z Czestochowy na zawsze niz spedzic 5 minut z matyjaszczykiem.
ja mieszkam w Czestochowie ❤️❤️❤️
i wish all Polish people talk about Poland like You, i'm proud off being Polish, in Your videos it's more about our culture than we can learn in school, keep it up good work, THX,can't wai'ton video from my city Lodz, see You in there, if U need some info hit me up
Dziękuję !!!🥰🇲🇨
To moje rodzinne
Miasto w Mojej
Ojczy
When I studied in Częstochowa in 1999-2001 (on the WSL college) I would frequently visit the Grota pub (i don't think it exists anymore) and the Zanzibar club.
When you studied you would visit something?
@siwuz84 oooo, to nie wiedziałem. Coś więcej na ten temat? Jaka zadyma?
na koniec świata i jeszcze dalej🚀
Łapka dla Częstochowy z Warszawy! :) Wybiorę się tam niedługo!
Born and raised in Częstochowa, so sad to have to move to Warsaw for college
…..greetings from Massachusetts!!......another very interesting video!..THANK YOU!!...
Come to Poland on vacation. Poland is cheap for Americans.
Tomasz Walter hehehehe is it the biggest advantage of visiting Poland?
I like watching you vlogs man😎good job 😎
GREAT job ,Russell - "Chesty" is a beautiful place. And, your narration was fantastic. I'm thinking that Mike Rowe - the narrator for "Deadliest Catch" - is nervous now!!😀
If I ever get to visit, I'll have to check-out ALL THREE (# Amurican appetite) of those restaurants: the Italian restaurant; the Pierogi Bar ("Don't be a Burak, try our Zurek.") AND the cool, Medieval-themed restaurant.
Lastly, would it be possible - in future videos - to do some on-screen interviews with residents? If not, no problem at all.
PS As a gearhead, I HOPE my car has some Częstochowa parts in it!!😀👍
Glad to hear that, Charlie!
Milosc miedzy amerykaninem a polka zaczela sie doklanie na drodze do kosciola w roku 1978. Do tej pory trwa tylko w innej wersji. Swiete miasto!
Im from Częstochowa
Just an idea or a suggestion - in Southeatern Poland there was once a significant number of Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholics. The Orthodox built beautiful and charming wooden churches. Due to WWII and the subsequent Operation Vistula, there was a lot of forced migration. The Lemkos (Rusyns) were pretty much forced out. I have found the history of these people interesting.
I saw this American flag the other day while walking past the street and I was wondering why is it there. I had no idea that I would run into this video. Wonderful video mate
Good job👏 waiting for more👍
Jezu widzę swoje miasto jak mi dobrze ;D
I've found some words used in road slang, you can use them for one episode "Differences between ENG and PL in road slang". Here are the suggestions, which I heard in Częstochowa and maybe in other regiong there are more expressions:
1. When you start running out of fuel, then it beeps and in Poland some guys tell this thing "bailiff" (in Polish "komornik")
2. Tram is often called "przecinak" ("chisel" in English)
2. TAXI driver and often cab are called "złotówa" (and I can't translate this thing in English, so I don't even try to translate it)
Awesome dziękuję!!
I really like the pronunciation of polish words. I'm guessing the author may be quite fluent with polish language, full respect. Częstochowa is my city although I'm leaving abroad many years...
👍
Zuzel or Speedway is popular but not quite like in Poland in some US States i am from Rzeszow but lived in Canada for 27 years now and there are speedway tracks in California most well known is in Costa Mesa as well as upstate New York(track in Owego) and Bruce Penhall of USA was speedway World Champion in 1981 and 1982.
Trójmiasto (Sopot, Gdynia, Gdańsk) it is super interesting!
Spoko, właśnie w tym roku wybieramy się z dziećmi na Jasną Górę.
I love it there
Before this, there wasn't no review like that. How would be Częstochowa for Int. students?
It's very funny that the best movie about this polish city is made by an American 😁. Thank you very much
I live on Częstochowa 💕
