PolishYoungstown brings back popular pączki sale for sixteenth year
On Feb. 17, visit Kravitz Deli to support both the local small business and an organization dedicated to preserving Polish history in Youngstown.
From 8 a.m. - 6:30 p.m., Pączki, Polkas & Piwo returns to Kravitz Delicatessen in Liberty Township, which translates to Donuts, Dancing and Draught.
Pączki are filled pastries similar to donuts that are made from scratch at Kravitz.
Indulging in these treats this time of year is a Polish tradition before fasting in observance of Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday.
It’s PolishYoungstown’s sixteenth yearly pączki sale, but it’s also an all-day celebration of Polish-inspired food and drinks with live polka music.
The Polish Happy Hour is from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. at Kravitz featuring live polka music and sing-a-long with a duo from hailing Cleveland known as Polonia Duo, plus pierogi, Polish beer and pączki.
Supporting the pączki sale means contributing to the PolishYoungstown’s mission to preserve and promote Polish heritage through programs for youth, education and travel.
There’s a limited availability of the pączki, which are $3.50 each and $19 for a half dozen; preorders aren’t available.
Flavors include the original rosehip jam, apricot, homemade custard and a half rose and half custard known as the PYTown Pączek™.
Customers can also try a pączki slider which is a plain pączki paired with grilled kielbasa, red onions, brown mustard and a pickle slice.
