The Donut Pub is located right on 14th Street a few steps West of Seventh Avenue and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You may have walked past this place a million times, intrigued by the plethora of donuts peeking out through the glass, but felt it was a little too gluttonous to enter on your own. Actually, I probably would have never gone inside, except for the fact that my boyfriend Andrew has a love affair with the fried confections (look forward to learning all the doughnut hot spots in NYC!).
When you do go inside (and you should - go tonight for a late night treat!) you will literally time travel back to 1964. From what it looks like, the place has not changed in the last four decades - it even has Formica counters and checkered floors! Although the decor might be a little stale (but a total novelty!), the doughnuts sure are fresh and delicious. Go for the red velvet, creme filled, chocolate glazed with toasted coconut, jelly or crullers - or get a dozen to try and if you get lucky they will throw in a bunch of their special mini doughnuts.

Excellent post. They have a special name for their munchkin like donuts - I can't remember right now what they call them. One thing that is a real pain, is when I drive into NYC, I always end up parking in a spot where I have to move my car before 7AM (and I always have two alarms set - because I learned my lesson once when it got towed - what a nightmare - hey, you should write a post about that place!) Anyway, what I've been doing lately, is when I get up at 7, I'll take the opportunity to drive down 14th street and pick up some of the best donuts in NYC at the donut pub!
