Michigan Polish markets and places?

Are there are places in Michigan (Southeast) where young Polish people hang out?

I know there are some cultural centers, but I was hoping to find some people maybe in their 20s to go out drinking with.

where are some Polish food markets in the Mt Pleasant area? I am stuck up here for the week and need some good paczki.

Sorry mike, I know its hard :(

Maybe your only option is to have someone go to Hamtramak and send you some
via UPS. or maybe call and see if these places have a online site to order?

I am not good at polish so I cant help ya there :(
Best of luck to you though while your away at college :)

Mike, we have a few Polish meat markets in Grand Rapids if you ever make it down this way. But I'll tell you that they don't compare to what I experienced on N. Milwaukee this last weekend!

I go to Michigan for the lakes only. I take all my stuff (food) from Chicago though as I don't count on finding Polish stores there :)

Hamtramck and Sterling Heights have a lot of Polish people. Mlody, there's a Polish Market on maple and dequindre, as well as a Polish Book Store and something else. I'm not sure of specific places to hang out but I'm sure if you went to the Polish Market and asked one of the people working there they'd know. Heck you could probably just hang out with some of them, they're all in their 20s mostly.

I am the doorman at 88th Avenue. The address is 10200 Conant (2 blocks south of Caniff, across from PNA hall).

Right now, because it's Post (Lent) the bar is a bit slow - still Saturday nights are pretty good there. The staff are all 1st generation Polish (except me, I'm 3rd generation). 95% of the clientel is 1st generation Polish. Cover charge is only $2.00 (Dwa dollare) CHEAP!

Polish beer: Ziewiecz (I know I spelled that wrong, sorry) Ocociem. Polish vodka; Belvedere; and if Kazik is there, maybe some spirytus!

If you miss Poland, 88th Avenue is the place to go.

Sad, so very sad for the Polish migrants who established this town in Michigan only to have it taken over by the Muslims.
When the Polish came here they had no government grants to start a business nor any welfare to support their family like the Muslims are "blessed with" AND the Polish people (unlike the Muslims that still wear their black garbage bags and have no desire to become Americans) acclimated on their free will to learn English and American traditions.

What a difference a couple of generations make.
In my day as a kid (50's and 60's) Hamtramck was known for top quality Polish restaurants and Polish butcher shops that produced the best Polish sausages anywhere.

Hamtramck's transformation in recent decades is well documented and obvious. (Marxism at work)
Storefronts now display signs in Arabic or Bengali.
A main road was given an honorary name, "Bangladesh Avenue."
And after the 2015 election, Hamtramck's City Council became the country's first with a Muslim majority, a milestone that drew unwanted media attention and critical social media posts from ex-residents who left decades ago in disgust.

So sad, so very sad to see the hard working Polish and their culture be run out of a town they worked so very hard to establish.

Don't let this happen in Poland.......Keep Poland Polish !
