Speaking of doughnuts

[sucio sanchez]

Does anybody remember the Old Fashioned donughnut shop on the corner of 86th and lex? Man were those good, especially if you were lucky enough to get one right out of the fryer. The powder sugar would turn into a glaze from the heat of the oil. A cup of coffee and a bowtie for about 2.35. Good times!!! It's too bad, we lost this place and the Pastrami Queen in one shot to some behemoth luxury apartments. That's the shit the burns me up and is why I enjoy living in Queens now more than Manhattan. There are more of those kinds of places in Queens and they don't get blown up all over food blogs like most places in Manhattan. Please if you remember the old fashioned doughnut Holla Back

I recently had a doughnut from Sullivan Street Bakery on 47th and it was ridiculously good.. Tasted eggy, yeasty, with powdered sugar and a vanilla cream... My mother, who is P-Dutch, told me it reminded her of the doughnuts she had as a child.. Fresh out of the fryer..

Before you get to excited the doughnut was 2.90 a piece and small.. But it was probably the best doughnut I have had in recent memory..

I am pretty sure thats what they call it.. Going this Saturday, will take a photo.. Have you had it? What are your thoughts?

[weinoo]

I had a bomboloni at Falai Panetteria on Clinton St. yesterday. While it wasn't in its still warm infancy, it was damn good.

[Pan]

I'll bet you, one is un bombolono.

[tupac17616]

Actually, it's un bombolone. But not a bad guess, Pan.

Had the passion fruit coconut donut over at Bouchon Bakery yesterday.. The donut was kind of old tasting, especially for 1 o'clock on a Sunday.. The passion fruit filling was great.
