For years I have been reading about The Doughnut Plant on the Lower East Side and wanting to visit. As someone who considers doughnuts a practically-perfect food ("perfect" it would be if it had any nutritional value whatsoever, and we all know the answer to that), this seems like the mecca for my kind; you can actually see the doughnuts being made! These award winning sweets are available at Zabars and Bloomingdales (and, it seems, they have opened or are opening a location at the Chelsea Hotel of all places!) among other places, but one of these days I want to make it down to the plant at 379 Grand (about three blocks east of Ludlow, 2 blocks above Canal...).

Summer Outdoor Films
Bryant Park (42nd St and 6th Ave) starts this week its series of outdoor films every Monday at sunset, through Aug. 23rd, 2010. Here's the list of films:

An eclectic mix, to say the least, but most people don't attend for the film, but more for the only-in-New-York spirit of the event.

Neue Galerie -and its wonderful cafes
The Neue Galerie is an elegant, small, museum in a gorgeous building across and up from the Metropolitan Museum, at 86th and Fifth Avenue. The museum is devoted to early twentieth-century German and Austrian art and design. Exhibitions can be small but worth a visit, especially if you have a chance to stop at the cafe/ restaurants on the first floor: Cafe Sabarskay (Mon and Wed 9-6; Thurs-Sun 9-9; Tues. closed) and Cafe Fledermaus (Fri-Sun, 12-6). Here's a link to there Teutonic-centric menu. Even if you go just for coffee and breakfast, its a divine atmosphere; as close as you'll get to Vienna in NYC.

Museum of Arts & Design
I've just discovered that the American Craft Museum--which I visited a few times with great pleasure--has been renamed The Museum of Arts & Design, and relocated since 2008 to Columbus Circle! It is now the Museum of Arts and Design. Hello! I look forward to visiting this weekend and seeing the "new" facility.
