POLAND — The sound of polka music and the smell of pirogies filled Kravitz

Delicatessen this afternoon as patrons stopped by for Polish specialties to mark Fat Tuesday.

“It’s been crazy. Everyone wants paczkis,” said Tracy Thompson, manager at the Poland library branch of the deli.

Paczkis — Polish pastries similar to doughnuts — were among many other Fat Tuesday offerings on Kravitz’s menu at both the Poland location and the deli on Belmont Avenue in Liberty.

Stuffed cabbage, kielbasa, kraut, potato pancakes, halushki, bagels and eggs also were served, and Polish Youngstown organized various Polish-themed festivities throughout the day.
