"West Village bakery the Doughnut Project is shutting down later this month. Owner Leslie Polizzotto announced the news in January. “This decision was made after considering many factors including the approaching end of our lease,” she said in an email. Polizzotto opened the doughnut shop at 10 Morton Street, near Bleecker Street, in 2015. Its big, chewy doughnuts with flavors like black pepper and everything seasoning drew fans beyond the Village. The shop sold its doughnuts nationwide on Goldbelly, and the recipes will soon be available in a cookbook, Polizzotto says. The last day is February 25." - Luke Fortney
