Happy Pączki Day! As if Greenpointers need another excuse to gorge on delicious sugary fried dough (thank you, Peter Pan), it’s officially Tlusty Czwartek (Fat Thursday), or the final Thursday ahead of Ash Wednesday and the start of fasting for Lent.

The Polish tradition is said to bestow a year’s worth of good luck for those who eat as many of the fluffy frosted treats that are similar to donuts as possible. Here’s where to find pączki today in Greenpoint:

Charlotte Patisserie

Charlotte Patisserie (596 Manhattan Ave.), known for its delicate French pastries, is offering two flavors of pączki this year — rose jelly and eggnog custard. You have until 6 p.m. today to pick up one of these tasty treats!

Peter Pan

Northside Bakery

Northside Bakery (149 North 8th St.) has been serving up sweets for over 30 years. Based on the Instagram pics, they're certainly not skimping on the size of those donuts! Also according to Instagram, they're making 60,000 (!!!) donuts today!
