It’s Paczki season! Here’s where to find them in Columbus
Believe it or not, the Midwest actually has its own variety of regional donut and now’s the perfect time to try it. The paczki (pronounced PUNCH-key, PAUNCH-key, or POONCH-key, depending on who you ask), is a pastry that’s unique and delicious in its own right, and it’s traditionally served on Fat Tuesday.
These Polish delicacies typically pop up in Columbus in February and March every year, and we’ve compiled a list of local spots where you can grab some for yourself. Enjoy them while you can, Columbus, because they won’t be here long.
