Are you in need of some serious comfort food? The kind that will keep you warm no matter how much arctic air is pressing down on us? Well, then: make a trip to the Alexandra’s Pierogi outlet.
Alexandra’s makes pierogi, blintzes, and such Polish specialities as uzka, pyzy, and Silesian dumplings. These are sold in groceries and served at restaurants all over the country. The pierogi come in eleven savory varieties and four fruit-filled versions. Most of the pierogi are sold in trays of twelve for $3.00, with discounts kicking in when you buy five or more. That’s a great price, especially considering the quality.
And seriously. You live in a city with a pierogi outlet. Doesn’t that make the weather a little easier to take?
