Polish Village Cafe - Hamtramck, MI

In 1925, Mr. Pilecki built a 31 room gentleman's hotel with a rathskeller at 2990 Yemans Street.

In the 1940's and 50's Hamtramck's population surged to over 50,000 as more immigrants arrived to man the city's factories.

Walking through the neighborhood at that time, you could feel the hospitality and smell the fine cooking typical of European villages.

In 1976, Mr. Pilecki's cellar beer garden became the Polish Village Cafe. His tradition of welcoming immigrants and their descendents continues to this day. (from http://www.thepolishvillagecafe.com)
