From now until Christmas Day we’re showcasing different things you can do with family and friends on Broad Street. Every day will feature one item that’s available in one of the restaurants, stores, bars, or delis on the street. We’re calling it the 12 Days of A Broad Street Christmas in New Britain CT.
The first time I went to Poland I noticed that were advertising OREO cookies on TV. I was on a group trip so it was difficult to do an extensive search, but I did not find any OREOs in any store. During the process of my search I became an expert on Polish cookies. All the cookies I saw in Poland, including their sort of version of an OREO, are available in the stores on Broad Street. (more…)
Little Poland’s shops are a great place to do your Christmas shopping. The stores along Broad Street might be small, but they are packed full of Christmas gift ideas.
Sundays on Broad Street are usually quiet. Many of the stores close in the early afternoon if they are open at all. The street is briefly populated when Mass at Sacred Heart lets out and then becomes vacant until the next Mass is over.
Yesterday was different. Yesterday was the last Sunday in April, an ordinary day everywhere but in New Britain. In New Britain it is “Little Poland Day”, a day to celebrate Poland, Polonia, and a very special street-Broad Street, New Britain. (more…)
During this month’s Welcome Home we made traditional Polish Christmas Ornaments. Take a look at a couple we made!
