In the year 1 BC (Before COVID), I had been flirting with the idea of adding a Greenpoint food tour to my roster of ethnojunkets (you can see them all on one page here<\/a>). The plan involved scoring a sampling of several top notch kielbasi, refreshing cold summertime soups, savory pierogi, pickled tidbits and other Polish treats and sweets along with traditional baked goods. The route would include other neighborhood standouts as well, like Moe\u2019s Donuts at 126 Nassau Ave, Brooklyn. (The story began when Moe, who used to work at the nearby and deservedly famous Peter Pan Donut & Pastry Shop, moved on to do his own thing…but I\u2019ll save the rest of the tale for the tour.)<\/p>\n

I returned last week just to scope things out only to discover that, heartbreakingly, many of my time-honored faves had gone out of business. Which raised the question: would there still be enough authentic deliciousness to build a Polish food tour around? I explored the shops that were still standing and fortunately, to paraphrase the song, only the strong survived \u2013 easily enough to qualify for a legit ethnojunket.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019ve decided to let you <\/em>decide. Seriously. Over the next few posts, I\u2019m going to share some pix from my recent visit. After you\u2019ve seen them, let me know if you have some interest in joining me on a Greenpoint Polish ethnojunket!<\/p>\n

\nWe\u2019re starting the ball rolling with the aforementioned Moe\u2019s Donuts: Dulce de Leche on the left and Samoa on the right. Yes, Samoa like the coconut\/caramel\/chocolate Girl Scout Cookie but elevated to dessert nirvana because donuts > cookies. I\u2019m usually not a rabid donut fan, but every variety I\u2019ve tasted from Moe\u2019s was a gem.<\/p>\n

Keep following to check out more Greenpoint goodies….
