Doughnut Dan

There are some things that Americans do very well. Like cupcakes, Reese's Peanut Butter products, dark chocolate covered Oreo cookies, and not least of all, doughnuts.

When we moved into the Lower East Side, Daddy's work friend, Paolo, told Daddy about Doughnut Plant. Daddy calls it "Doughnut Heaven". And it is only 2 blocks from where we live!

In a non-descript store, that must be the closest thing that NYC has to a strip mall, they serve up 3 varieties of doughnuts - yeast, cake and jam. Flavours include (but are not limited to), crème brüleé, tres leche, and valrhona chocolate.

Mummy and Daddy have eaten these treats on no fewer than 3 occasions, sampling all 3 varieties, and forcing me out of my stroller in favour of the doughnut box. The most recent sampling was carried out to welcome our friends Isabelle and Dan from Aussie to the Big Apple. Carrot cake, blueberry jam with a peanut butter glaze, coconut glaze & white peach doughnuts were served alongside a smattering of Haagen Dazs and Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavours.

Isabelle and Dan didn't seem to like the doughnuts, stating that they definitely could not live in the Lower East Side as it was dangerous to live too close to Doughnut Plant. Oh well, more for us I guess.
