Lithuanian Food
June 2, 2019
My last day in Vilnius I walked all over – enjoying the beautiful city, soaking in the perfect weather and the positive spirit of the families, couples and individuals who were outside. Here are the tidbits I reflected upon……
The stunning architecture.
The interesting cafes and just to be clear – this is not a cafe where you can bring your own cat, and they do not serve cat on the menu. It is just a place where you can dine and enjoy the company of their 25 cats who live there.
The quiet side streets.
The specialty foods
The bikes for rent or….
if you are more of a scooter person, there are scooters for rent.
The interesting statues
Grocery stores are always an adventure.
There are also some Art Nouveau buildings to be found in Vilnius.
The Baltic States also have their own fast food chain called Hesberger, which when I tested it out, tasted very similar to the USA’s Burger King.
The greenery is well blended in with the neighborhoods.
BTW the Energizer Bunny’s cousin resides here.
The old with the new all works well together.
Lastly, the history-making landmarks – this is the reported spot , translated as “miracle”, where the human chain linking Vilnius, (Lithuania), Riga (Latvia) and Tallinn (Estonia) started in 1989. The history making event has become known as ” The Baltic Way”. It was a peaceful, political demonstration where approximately 2 million people joined hands thru the Baltic capitals, a distance of 420 miles. The event was designed to gain global attention that the Baltic States wanted independence from their Soviet Occupation. Within 7 months, Lithuania was the first of the 3 to gain their independence. In 1991, Latvia and Estonia gained their independence also.
