holupki - aka gwumpki - is another name for stuffed cabbage (stuffed with ground beef and rice, stewed in tomato sauce)
crushchiki - a thin strip of dough, sort of noodle shaped, with a slit made on one half and the other end pulled through, then deep fried and dusted with powdered sugar; think it is supposed to look like a cross and is a traditional easter food
kolachi -sometimes used to generically refer to a number of danish pastry -like sweets, in the NE PA tradition it usually is a sweet dough rolled pinwheel fashion in to a log shape, traditionally filled with poppyseed, chopped nuts, sweet cheese or a prune paste ("lekvar")
Bonus even though you didn't ask: pysanki = intricately decorated easter egs. Made with something of a modified batik technique in which wax is applied, patern etched and various dye colors applied.
Since Michael Patrick King, Executive Producer of "Sex and the City" grew up in the Scranton area, do you suppose any of these will make it into the show? Can't you just see Charlotte gushing over a fine example of pysanki art? And as for Samantha and that kielbasa, well...it's just too easy!

Is the kielbasa better in San Jose or San Francisco?
By the way, Lithuanians are known for good kielbasa. My grandmother, whose mother was from the old country, made a great kielbasa.
Unfortunately, I never learned to make it or spell it.
I am going to look for that vendor on 5th Avenue. Wish me luck

Two questions: What does "topping" mean?...I've seen it in several posts, and where is the old Polish section in Boston? I've never even heard of it.(I guess I should be ashamed!) Thanks! ps: I've never made them, but my great-grammy (she looked like a dried-apple doll, LOL!) always used bacon grease in her golombki. (well, I imagine bacon fat would help anything taste good!)
