Can someone recommend a good place to purchase pierogies and fresh Polish sausage (not smoked kielbasa). Thanks!

Any Buffalo game on tv will turn into an event there. They make trips as a group to games when Buff teams play locally. Friday night fish fries. Perogies, etc. http://www.jimmystavern.com/ Sat Mar 24 09:25:58 -0700 2007 2416978 11368 Dennis S 1 2417054 I'd give Lexington Market a try. Haven't been there in years, but they used to have a pretty good variety....

Just fyi, I have ordered all the Easter goodies from Buffalo and had it FedEx'd. Everthing was fantastic, but the fresh kielbasa really needs to be bought and cooked immediately before Easter. It arrived and I cooked it 3 days or so prior to Easter, and it just wasn't fresh enough. https://www.buffalofoods.com/home.htm Sat Mar 24 10:31:34 -0700 2007 2416978 65673 monavano 1 2417400 There's plenty of Polish tradition in Baltimore. I second the suggestion of Ostrowski's (on Washington St. in Fells Point) for fresh (not smoked) Polish sausage. Ostrowski's storefront is a tiny little place, but right before Easter there will often be lines going outside and down the sidewalk. I'm not sure about where to get pierogies, but you might try Sophia's stand in Broadway Market (at the south end of the north building), also in Fells Point.

Also, St. Michael's Ukrainian Catholic Church on Eastern Ave. sells pierogies on Friday mornings.

Polish Treasures on Chester Street in Fells Point sells homemade Pierogies. Sun Mar 25 11:26:26 -0700 2007 2417503 12234 hon 4 2420130 Sophia's has a lot of sausages. I'm not sure I've ever seen fresh polish sausages there, though. I regularly buy there a cured sausage that they call "polska", but I'm not of Polish descent and I don't know for sure just what that sausage actually is (other than tasty).

Tue Mar 27 12:55:17 -0700 2007 2420130 12234 hon 1 2425987 if you want authentic, go to Ostrowski's. But be prepared to stand in a line that will wrap around the block Best to call ahead, they usually run out. Tue Mar 27 12:32:53 -0700 2007 2416978 86376 guinness618 2 2426432 My partner's family is Buffalo Polish...while some have moved on from that fair city, when we do visit them anywhere other than Buffalo, we have to bring pierogis from Sophia's in Bdwy Market and sausage from Ostrowski's. (In fact, the entire smell of O's reminds me of my father-in-law's house in Buffalo!) I want to second that craziness at Ostrowski's (on Washington) before Easter. Best to get there as early as possible. Tue Mar 27 14:26:22 -0700 2007 2425987 54408 baltoellen
