I'm going to try to make it again this year, if you guys don't mind having a Ypsite hanging around... following you from bar to bar.

We would love to have you around on Paczki Day. Send me an e-mail with your paczki order from New Deluxe so I can buy them with my bread on Monday. I get the feeling that they are going to run out again this year.

(Or you could enter the eating contest and get all the New Deluxe paczki you can eat in 15 minutes for free.)

We'll be there as well, heading over from Ypsi, to bask in the paczki-ness of the day - and beer, of course!

The prospect of "mini slts" disturbs me.

The system would not accept "sl-u-ts".

As far as I know, none of the Hamtramck bakeries sell paczki mail-order.

So I just moved to the area a few months ago. I thought I knew what happiness was when I realized how close I am to work, to friends, and to my favorite restaurants and bars....but now that paczki day is upon us, I think I may shed a little tear of joy. *sniff*

I should be at the Dodge no later then 1pm.

Let's do this.

Welcome Chandra. I started taking the day off work last year so I don't have to miss out on the Paczki-eating contest and the early-bird specials.

If Saturday's turnout was any indication, this year should be something.

Hello all,
I will be attending tomorrow's festivites with a bunch of Polish-Americans from Dearborn. We have always wanted to come celebrate Paczki Day in Hamtramck but never actually made it out here. We plan to arrive around 1:00. What should we expect as new comers? Any recommendations on where the best place to be is?

Sincerly yours and Na Zdrowie!

don't forget the smaller businesses: for paczki: miron's (caniff), srodek's(conant), stan's(joseph campau)
stop by kopytko's on the south side of town & get some chunky sausage.
eat lunch on the north side just outside of hamtramck at krakus (joseph campau)
or join everyone at the above mentioned places & at the bigger or better known businesses:
paczki: polish market/new deluxe/new palace/martha washington;
restaurants: polonia, polish village cafe, under the eagle,holbrook cafe;
& visit the polish art center before or after you get your coffee from cafe 1923.
go to all our friendly bars - many will have food & music.
somebody chime in on everything & everbody that i missed.

Srodek's on Conant will be open from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., and The Family Donut Shop on Conant and Caniff opens at 3 a.m..

Kopytko's = great hot take-out. Dinners at PLAV 10 are always great. The Polish Muslims are super popular and anywhere they play will be packed to the doors.

The $5 breakfast at the Knights of Columbus is a good way to start the day. The eating contest is a must see. The record is 22 paczki eaten over 15 minutes. Here is the video from last year.
