You want Polish food? Polski Day is around the corner

Kansas City has a wide variety of ethnic restaurants, but not so many representing the Eastern European community. There have been Croatian, Hungarian and Russian restaurants over the years that have come and gone, including the old Jennie’s restaurant near Strawberry Hill in Kansas City, Kansas, which served Croatian dishes. (The mother of former Kansas City, Kansas, Mayor Carol Marinovich, used to work there.) 

But if many of the children and grandchildren of the Eastern European immigrants who settled in Kansas City, Kansas, have moved out of the area, they return at least once a year for Polski Day, when the women in the parish hall of All Saints Church at Eighth and Vermont start serving traditional Polish dishes. This year’s Polski Day will be held on Saturday, May 7, from noon to 7 p.m.
