Warszawskie Zoo
A relatively small zoo, but with some interesting species, including a pack of wild and rambunctious monkeys that seem to fascinate every visitor. Other Zoo residents include lemurs, giraffes, elephants, hyraxes, lions, tigers, zebras, and jaguars that live in a glass enclosure that allows you stand only centimeters away from the beasts.

Rogatki Grochowskie

Built in 1825, it was the first monument in Poland to honor anonymous workers (instead of famous national heroes).
A mostly residential neighborhood that is freckled with numerous embassies, but is unique for the cozy cafes and restaurants that line one its most well-known streets, ul. Francuska. In the evening, the neighborhood is an idyllic setting for a stroll, which can be topped off by watching the sunset over the Eastern skyline of Warsaw, dominated by the Palace of Culture and Science, while grilling or drinking by a couple of the city-provided grills on the banks of the Vistula. If you go to grill, be sure to bring some bug spray. This neighborhood is also located immediately next to the National Stadium.
Well-designed museum showcasing the history of Praga. Lots of interesting interviews with old residents.
Uniquely Warsaw collection of historic neon signs. In the 1970s, Poland made a break from the grey days of Stalinism, partially by installing neon signs that harkened back to the glory days of 1920s Warsaw. As they slowly disappear due to post-Iron-Curtain development, artists and historians have started collecting and displaying them.
Muzeum Fabryka Czekolady E.Wedel
Museum of chocolate, and the Wedel family – entrepreneurs involved in its production.
The forest was an important battlefield during the November Uprising.
Park Skaryszewski or Park im. Ignacego Paderewskiego
This park isn't as well known as some of the others, most likely since a palace is absent from it, but that said, it's nonetheless a pleasant park for a stroll or to read a book and comes complete with its own lake. Near park's main entrance, there is a memorial to the September 11th terror attacks.
Park Praski
A park that's good for a stroll. There's a large sculpture of a giraffe and a playground for children within the park's grounds. Near the entrance to the Warsaw Zoo, there are a few eateries that serve up ice cream.
Teatr Baj
Located in CH Promenada.
Studio cinema, three rooms.
National Stadium
The impressive stadium has been built on the site of an earlier communist-era venue right in time for the Euro 2012 championships. It is a multi-level entertainment, exhibition and congress venue, with a busy schedule of events. The grounds around the stadium have been arranged to hold events as well. On the nights of major matches or concerts, traffic in the area can be severely disrupted, but on other days, you may find attractions ranging from publicly-accessible ice skating rink to a fashion fair within the large structure.
A 2h walking tour through Praga where you learn about the history of Praga and Warsaw in general
This three-room restaurant, with each of its rooms painted and decorated to correspond with the colors of Italian flag, is one of the few Italian eateries in Warsaw that does Italian right. Each dish is delicious and beautifully prepared, and the portions leave customers feeling satisfied. When the weather is nice, the restaurant's patios are a great place to enjoy your meal while observing passersby.
Hip little eatery specializing in various types of pyzy, a gnocchi-like potato dumpling, served with your choice of toppings in a glass mason jar. Has a good range of drinks to wash them down with and street tables for sunny days. For something a little unusual, try the liver & berry sauce.

A former marmalade factory, now a cultural center with a club, a theater, a restaurant, artist ateliers and an exhibition area.
Very nice hostel, with great conditions and a very helpful staff.

Dworzec Wileński
A shopping mall built over a terminus for local trains heading north-eastwards of Warsaw, directly connected to the namesake metro station as well. A rather wide selection of the usual chain stores, service outlets, gastronomy and a supermarket.
