Little Walter’s Is Hosting a 1 Year Anniversary With All-You Can-Eat Food, Boozy Water Ice, & Live Entertainment
That’s right, it’s already been one year since owner/Chef Michael Brenfleck opened the door to his contemporary Polish restaurant and bar at 2049 E Hagert St. To celebrate, Little Walter’s will be hosting a One Year Anniversary Party on Thursday, June 26 from 6pm – 11pm featuring all-you-can-eat Polish classic fare, boozy water ice, live entertainment, and more.
Recognized twice by The New York Times as one of America’s best restaurants and best dishes in 2024, Little Walter’s is planning a proper celebration for all those that supported them throughout the year.
The One Year Anniversary Party will include an assortment of seasonal all-you-can-eat stationed and passed fare, in addition to live entertainment, a welcome cocktail of Kotktajl Powitalny crafted with sour cherry nalewka and sparkling wine, and Polish water ice with local strawberries infused with bison grass vodka titled Lód Wodny z Kolcami.
“When I first had the idea of Little Walter’s in mind years ago, I could have never imagined just how impactful and rewarding the first year would turn out to be,” said Michael Brenfleck, Chef/Owner of Little Walter’s. “We’re thrilled to celebrate such a full and prosperous year with our incredible neighbors and the community at large, as well as our friends, loved ones, and even new diners. We’re excited to continue to grow and create memorable experiences for every person who joins us – whether for a drink and plate of pierogi at the bar or a full-service, chef’s tasting.”
