Pierogi are Polish dumplings of dough wrapped around fillings including potato and cheese, sauerkraut and mushroom, or sweet farmer cheese, boiled then.
Polish immigrants brought pierogi to Milwaukee in the 1880s and 1890s, settling the South Side around what became Lincoln Village. By the 1950s Polish bakeries and South Side delis sold them by the dozen; New Palace Bakery and South Side delis carry the tradition forward. Polish Fest at the lakefront each June is the largest Polish festival in the US, with pierogi by the thousand.
