"Take a locally-made Hamtramck paczek, fill it with flavored alcohol (blueberry vodka, vanilla vodka, Bailey’s, etc.), and add a straw — that’s the simple, boozy recipe for an annual Small’s bar tradition called the Paczki Bomb. The alcohol-infused pastries are available beginning at 10 a.m. on Fat Tuesday and sell out quickly, so get there early and prepare for day drinking. In addition, there will be live musical performances by several artists, including Eastside Elvis And The Motor City Mafia, Eastside Still Alive, and Bill Kozy’s Rising Force." - Courtney Burk
