Dough is perhaps my favorite donut place in manhattan. The plain glazed is simply perfect, all are delicious, but some very rich. However, the service is sooooo slowwww.
Great spot to enjoy lunch outdoors! Be sure to bring your own though so you're not tempted by Shake Shack ;)

The Good: El Pastor and Thanksgiving sandwich. The Bad: took 87 minutes to complete from line to end. Desperately need to pick up the pace, don't care how good the food is...
The long lines are more than worth the wait. Non vegans will be confounded by how much they enjoy eating tofu when it's prepared by Cinnamon Snail! Vegans will weep. Try every donut.
Dunkin and Krispy Kreme don't hold a candle to this place. Worth the splurge every so often. And great chai and coffee, too!

Crostini Misti is delicious - and big enough for really sharing
The contadino is two perfectly poached (soft) eggs with sauteed seasonal vegetables. Right now its corn cherry tomatoes and jalapeños. This is the perfect breakfast
The breakfast at Maialono is great. Cappuccino is excellent and I alternate between the Contadino and the Currant Pecan Granola with Yogurt and Fruit
Go to Washington Square Park today and enjoy the surroundings. The sun is warm and because it's a holiday, the mood is serene. Great for dogs, too!

The Mel I Mato (Whipped fresh cow's milk ricotta cheese with honey) is a nice after dinner treat
Get the pimentos de padron. They're like chips--hard to eat just one!
Three words: Bacon-wrapped dates. Maybe that's technically two words. But either way - GET THEM.
Amazing breakfast and service! This will definitely be my first stop whenever I'm in the city. PS. FRENCH TOAST AND HOME FRIES ARE AWESOME!!!

Get the King Kong!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
