Plac Nowy, today a popular meeting place and festival venue, was once known as Plac Żydowski (Jewish Squre). In 1900, a circular pavilion was erected in the middle of the square, with small grocery and butcher shops, and a fast-food bar with delicious casseroles, famous today in Krakow. On weekdays, the square is filled with stalls selling vegetables and antiques. On Sunday mornings it turns into a busy clothing market. The whole square is surrounded by cafés and pubs popular in the city, which on warm summer nights spill over the square and form one giant beer garden.
