To know pierogi, the absurdly comforting and starchy Polish dumplings, is to love them. This wildly popular yearly event from the Polish Cultural Center gives you an opportunity to shovel the petite pockets of dough into your face by the plateful, with fillings like potato and cheese; meat, sauerkraut, and mushrooms; and blueberries. Plus, try other Polish dishes and beer, take in performances from the Polish Vivat Musica! Choir, and peruse a marketplace with Polish art, decorations, clothing, accessories, and more. by Julianne Bell
