Congratulations to Hamtramck, The WCSX City of the Week!

We LOVE going to Hamtramck this time of the year.  Pączki Day (Fat Tuesday) is February 21, 2023. I will tell you my secret: we go the day before so that we already have our pączkis for the morning AND we can show you what's up before it's over.  The downfall is that I eat pączkis for 24 hours straight, but, ya know... they're flipping delicious!

New Palace Bakery has been around since 1908.  Their baked goods are BEYOND amazing.  I'm not a huge traditions person, but I also don't want to think about a Pączki Day without a New Palace Bakery pączki.  I am 100% spoiled by the delicious baked goods and pączki.  Every year try their new flavor.  This year it's "Orange Cream-ski." Check out the pictures below of the box of deliciousness from New Palace along with more adventures in Hamtramck (a stop at the Rock and Roll Party store is always a MUST)!

The Pączki Elvis, Pelvis, and I went to New Palace and sampled the new flavor.  Check out our Facebook Live:

It is not easy eating a pączki without wearing a little bit here or there.  Happy Pączki Day!  Pelvis and his hair are hitting the streets and delivering boxes of New Palace Bakery paczkis to people at work on behalf of Big Jim's House!  Scroll down to see our pictures from our 2023 adventures.

After you check out the pictures below, if you want more, check out our pictures from past Hamtramck City of the Week adventures!

Note from Doni: I can't believe that Pelvis' hair did not slide completely off. No idea how he managed to keep it together.
