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...).
