The NY Times Dining Section has a feature on doughnuts today; did you know that “New York is living through a… flowering in the doughnut arts”? The two Brooklyn spots featured were Dough (pictured), which was opened in December by Choice Market, and Peter Pan Donut and Pastry Shop. The flavors at Dough are more experimental (hibiscus, dulce de leche, Nutella cream) while Peter Pan sticks to the traditional route. Any other good doughnut spots in Brooklyn we should know about?
A Flowering of the Doughnut Arts [NY Times]
Let’s all just go get donuts. I could use a walk.
Actually Blayze, the G train was not standing room until quite recently. The big increase in population along the line and its extension further south totally changed things.
All trains are standing room at rush hour.
I wish they would cut out a few stops in North Bed-Stuy/Lower South Williamsburg, mainly Broadway and Flushing. They’re basically underused and just filthy slum stations, not to mention the J and M are nearby so nobody even bothers with these hellholes.
Because Dough is near the G, it’s definitely not desolate around there. And the G is now a very very busy train–standing room only at rush hour, much to my surprise.
I use the G on weekends and it’s pretty reliable in my opinion.
The high-falutin’ expensive showoffs from Doughnut Plant in Chinatown are f-ing delicious. That is all.
That and Dough is near the G, which from my lovely observations seems to have fairly decent in-shape people… if only because it’s the G and pacing around in circles for a half hour can kill off any unwanted calories as you wait for your ramshackle 4-car wonder.
Dough is okay, it was a bit of a hike from my posh upper class residence under the expressway. Silliness aside, it’s kind of in a desolate area with not a whole lot of foot traffic. The donuts are fairly large, but the fancy ingredients are what jack up the prices. The lemon poppy donut I had was sickly sweet, as though I had just eaten alot of lemon flavored candy and glaze. I’d prefer smaller donuts with less frills but a little higher quality than Crunkin Donuts. I was reared on both those chemical blunders and local bakeries in Trenton, so I know a good standard donut. This is not it.
Only Peter Pan can boast the best donut title. The rest are just high-faultin’ and expensive showoffs.
However, I’d probably cave in and get another donut if they were on Myrtle where they’d make a good amount of better business.
The donuts at Moto are good.
