Pierogi Lovers, Listen Up!
Get ready to feast! If you’ve got a soft spot for pierogi (and honestly, who doesn’t?), then mark your calendar for March 20th. Jaju Pierogi and the Polish American Citizen Club of Boston are teaming up to bring you an All You Can Eat Pierogi Buffet—and yes, that means unlimited pierogi until you physically can’t eat another bite. There are two entry times to choose from—5 PM and 7 PM—but once you’re in, you’re welcome to hang out and enjoy the club until midnight. Just make sure you roll yourself out the door before closing! Best part? All profits go toward the Polish American Women’s Scholarship, so you can indulge for a great cause. Tickets are $34 and can be purchased here.
