Mark your calendars, Paczki Day is this Tuesday February 21st! : )
For those out there that may not know about paczki (pronounced poonch-kee), they are Polish jelly-filled donuts. Most Hamtramck bakeries sell these doughy treats all year long, but paczkis make their biggest debut on Fat Tuesday (akaPaczki Day aka Mardi Gras).
Below is a listing of places that sell paczki (know of any others…respond to this post):
New Palace
Butternut Bakery
Martha Washington
Paris Bakery
Helpful Hint: Avoid the 2-3hr long lines, by placing your paczki order in a day before

I’m sad that some of my fav Hamtramck bakeries (R.I.P. New Deluxe & Oaza) have closed over the years, so be sure to frequent and support these bakeries throughout the year and not just on Paczki Day!
