well, I had Polish refugee friends here in Austin 30 years ago
but lost track of them after we all moved...
and a Russian friend (from Leningrad, not very far) recently left
the country also...
so I did the next best thing: I googled!
(the recipe at the end doesn't sound difficult at all)

1/2 teaspoon salt
warm water
1 recipe Sauerkraut Filling OR

Best ones I have had since my fathers mother passed on.
Don't much care for their cabbage pierogies, however. My

in the area.

I'll definitely second the recommendation of Sasha's. Had their dill
chicken crepe/blintzes with sour cream, and it was decidedly delicious.
Definitely not the way to fill yourself up fast and cheap, but it's a great
little place. And what's up with those miniature dried sweet bagels?

Actually, she's right. A lot of people - maybe even most - in Hamtramck
don't speak English. It is also, AFAIK, the only city in the US completely
enclosed by another city.
Great place to find absinth, too. And I don't mean that crappy homebrew Goth
fake stuff.

Hard to tell with great precision, but looking at a political map, those
appear to be on Houston's - or each other's - periphery and not completely
enclosed by the city limits. I don't see any incorporated areas completely
surrounded by the city, though, as I said, it's hard to tell with precision.
Hamtramck, OTOH, is dead center in the middle of the city of Detroit and
completely surrounded by the city of Detroit.

Dusty

Well, there is always the combination of Highland Park and University
Park in Dallas. They are separate cities (from each other and
Dallas), and both of them are entirely surrounded by Dallas,
although they border each other.
From what I read at http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/
(search for "highland park" and/or "university park"), the story
goes something like this:
In the late 1800's, some developers decided to build a development
north of Dallas, which later became known as Highland Park. It
remained unincorporated for a while and was a small suburban
residential community. Similarly, University Park was a small
community formed around Southern Methodist University. In
the early 1900's, both tried to convince Dallas to annex them
(and University Park tried to convince Highland Park to annex
it as well), but Dallas wasn't interested. (In the case of
University Park, this was because a big investment in
infrastructure would have been required. They had been relying
on SMU for water and sewer services, and SMU was no longer
interested in providing these for a growing city.) Since neither
city could get annexed, each city incorporated on its own.
A few years later, Dallas changed its mind and decided it would
rather annex both of them. There was a vote or two, and
neither was annexed. Dallas, in an effort to prevent University
Park from expanding, used its powers to annex all the surrounding
land as its own. (Perhaps they were hoping this would convince
them to change their minds. We are Dallas; resistance is
futile; you will be assimilated...)
Both Highland Park and University Park have remained independent,
with their own school systems. Together, they are known as Park
Cities, and now they share a water system that is their own.
They also are both home to some of the richest people in the
Dallas area (esp. Highland Park), and Dallas as far as I know
gets none of the property tax money from this tax base.

Which would mean neither one is completely surrounded by another city.

Well, see, that's where it gets into terminology. "City A is
completely surrounded by City B" could mean either:
1. If you pick a point in City A and then travel in absolutely
any direction from there, then you'll eventually pass through
City B,
or
2. If you pick a point in City A and then travel in absolutely
any direction from there, then you'll eventually pass through
City B with passing through any other city (beside A or B)
first.
Maybe the city which you referred to earlier is claiming they're
the only one that meets definition #2. But, I think either could
be considered a reasonable defintion.

Or, it could simply mean city A is completely surrounded by city B, as is
the case with Hamtramck (A) and Detroit (B), which is what I said to begin
with.

The only way I can read this is as a rhetorical device which
is meant to get across the idea that you don't believe that
your statement was ambiguous or don't see why it's ambiguous.
But, I think it was ambiguous. If I were one of the 8,900 people
living in 2.2 square mile Highland Park or one of the 23,000 people
living in 3.7 square mile University Park, both of which lie near
the center of Dallas (which has 384.7 square miles of land and
1,211,000 people), I would feel like I was "surrounded" and
"enclosed" by the City of Dallas.
Hamtramck may be the only city in the US that is bordered on
all sides by another city, but you said "completely enclosed",
which I claim could mean other things. It's fine if you meant
"bordered on all sides", but don't expect others to always
interpret ambiguous statements the way you meant them or
the way you interpret them.

From what I can tell, they're a ubiquitous snack food in former
Soviet countries. They were all over when we were in Kazakhstan
last year (and are rather yummy and don't crumble).
