"Operating for well over a century in Hamtramck, this bakery has been supplying cheese- and jam-filled kolaczki cookies and paczki to the community for generations; the family has owned New Palace Bakery since 1974 and says they’re determined to keep meeting demand for their lard-laden pastries despite the pandemic. For Paczki Day they’ve instituted streamlined phone ordering, pick-up time slots, and a new street-facing pick-up window to limit lines; walk-ins are still welcome but pre-orders are encouraged. The shop will open at its usual red-eyed 3 a.m. and is offering five filling options available in quantities of three, six, or a dozen, with the full menu online and orders accepted up to five days in advance by calling 313-875-1334." - Mickey Lyons
