Lower East Side Cafes & Bakeries
Doughnut Plant
Address: 379 Grand Street
Phone: 212-505-3700
Although they've been around for decades, ask many of the old-timers in this neighborhood and they will refer to this doughnut place as the new kid on the block. This Lower East Sider has grown a die-hard following as the source for the fabulous, mega-doughnuts you buy for a mini-fortune at Dean & Deluca, Citarella and Zabar's. Varieties run from banana pecan to valrohna chocolate. And believe me, they're better fresh.
