"People from across the region gather in Hamtramck annually on Fat Tuesday to indulge a dozen or more paczki — a type of Polish doughnut. Several bakeries specialize in these filled and fried treats, including New Palace Bakery, which introduces new flavors into its filling rotation annually. While it doesn’t attract the same intimidating lines the rest of the year, New Palace is still worth a visit for its flaky strudels, babka, tarts, and other sweet pastries." - Serena Maria Daniels
