"National Pierogi Day: Homemade, Mrs. T's, East Village Meat Market, and Pierogi's of Cleveland Celebrate!"

October 8 is National Pierogi Day, and while it's a great excuse to indulge in these delicious dumplings, they can be enjoyed year-round. Making homemade pierogies is surprisingly easy, and there are countless variations for both the dough and fillings. From classic potato and cheese to nontraditional options like "Everything Bagel" or Ethiopian-inspired dessert pierogies, the possibilities are endless. Whether boiled or pan-fried, pierogies are best enjoyed fresh or frozen, and they can be served with caramelized onions, sour cream, or a variety of sauces.
