„… I went with my stepmother to Nowy Świat [New World] Street. I was dazzled immediately. Before me was an orgy of lights in all the storefronts, in the windows of confectioneries at the entrances to motion picture theaters, of which there were four, restaurants and hotels.”
<i>Zdzisław Kaliciński, O Starówce, Pradze i ciepokach [About the Old Town, Praga, and ciepoks]</i>

„Nowy Świat [New World] Street—rightly so!—devoted to good fortune. The most bookmakers, the most motion picture theaters, the most
women’s hairdressers.”<br/>
<i>Maria Kuncewiczowa, Dyliżans warszawski [The Warsaw coach]</i>
