"While Paczki Day might be done and over (and we hope you got your fill yesterday), you can get paczki at New Palace all year long. Flavors include the nearly overwhelming list of raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, cherry, apple, apricot, lemon, prune, Boston cream, chocolate Bavarian, butter cream, raisin, rose hip, plain sugar, and pineapple, but custard is the only one that really matters."

"There’s no shortage of places in Hamtramck and metro Detroit to find pączki on Fat Tuesday, but New Palace Bakery offers the greatest variety of the Polish pastry with new flavors every year. The doughnuts — sometimes frosted or dusted with powdered sugar — are filled with a variety of creams and jellies."

"April and Michelle Anderson’s bakery, Good Cakes and Bakes, was one of the very first businesses to reemerge on this once super-busy stretch of Livernois Avenue, just south of 8 Mile and Baker’s Keyboard Lounge, a great historical Detroit stop. Pastry chef April presents a slew of all-organic sugar bombs, including a St. Louis–style Lemon Gooey Butter Cake. The OMG bar—ganache, homemade (and perfect) marshmallow, graham- cracker bottom—is a s’more in a tuxedo."

"Pastry chef April Anderson recently remodeled the pretty-in-pink bakery and cafe, but baked goods are only available for delivery and pickup. Find treats here like St. Louis-style gooey butter cake, cupcakes, caramel cakes, vegan carrot cake and cookies as well as black-eyed pea soup and birthday cards in the online shop for delivery or pickup.

"Drive around some of the dodgier areas of Detroit and you’ll likely see a bunch of “You Buy, We Fry” joints – but honestly, most of them have so-so seafood. But Scotty’s has been a seafood staple since 1950, cooking up crispy cod kids and adults will crave."

"Scotty Simpson's is a faith builder for a fish-and-chips skeptic. The interior design is...if your grandparents’ carpeted basement was a banquet room with a fryer in it. The owner, Harry Barber, has been frying fish here in Brightmoor for 50 years."
