Pierogi In Paradise!

Believe it or not- there’s a restaurant on the waterfront that is owned & run by a couple from Poland.  It is aptly named Tavern On the Waterfront. (Some poles have no imagination- or could it be a brilliant marketing ploy to make the place easier for the tourists to find?) 
The name itself did not lure us in.  It was the small sign on the sidewalk that listed “Pierogi”.  They had us at pierogi- we couldn’t not walk into the place.  The menu offered a good selection of mostly American-type foods, obviously to please tourists with a variety of appetites.  We ordered pierogi and golabki, the later was listed as stuffed cabbage on the menu, but our Polish waitress knew what we meant.  Our Polish taste buds were not disappointed in the least!
The Bloomin' Onion on right was dessert...
PS:  I’ll be rolling out our own pierogi in a couple of weeks to celebrate Wigilia in the traditional way.
