Everyone in NYC loves a little DP. Not just girls, guys too. Guys can enjoy DP as much as girls. I've been in DPs in both Manhattan and Brooklyn and the guys love getting DP too. I can't blame them. If you haven't had DP lately, then let's do DP together soon, because you want it (even if you don't know it yet) and I want it too. DP is the only way to get "Tres Leches". I always end up with Tres Leches all over me. But I like that.
Best Donuts: Tres Leches, Creme Brulee, Coconut.
After you eat: Go run a mile.
Why?: So I can hear your "Doughnut Pant."
Oh. I see. Another bad joke: Well would you rather talk politics?
Sure: Well I stand by my point of view.
Which point of view?: The view of doughnuts. I give everything a "Doughnut Slant."
Why do you keep going on and on about doughnuts?: I love a good "Doughnut Rant."
Look, let's walk and talk, I'm in a hurry: I can walk and talk, but my "Doughnut Can't."
Doughnuts are all you talk about: You should hear my "Doughnut Chant."
Well at least you don't recycle jokes: Oh! What a good idea! I'll get right on that.
New York City has some of the best donuts in the world. While there are a few here and there in various cities such as Toronto and buffalo and Cleveland and Columbus that can be mentioned in the same breath, there is no other place that has the depth and scope of the incredible although overpriced Donuts that New York City has. Doughnut Plant is one of the very best examples of that. It may be slightly behind Dough, and the vegan spectacular Dun-Well, but it's in the same league and should be mentioned in the same breath.
It's also the most unique of the three. They make bizarre donuts with delicious fillings, which are unlike anything you will probably have anywhere else. It's a good thing they are so good because with the prices at 3 and $4 for a donut you're going to expect them to be perfect. And they are. This location doesn't quite have the charm of the Grand Avenue location in Manhattan but it's not far off.
The last time I was here, I brought a guy and a girl. It was just us 2 guys and 1 girl. It was an awesome DP experience.
They are so innovative and original. Simply unlike any other doughy concoction you will ever taste anywhere. DP is gourmet and fancy, and yet they're just donuts. The Creme Brulée and Trés Léchés (overusing accent on purpose) are my faves, and must be tried to be believed, but the Coconut is not far off. Tres Leches means three milks. Which is why you find it at DP. Think about it.
The first time I did DP I actually filmed it. I mean, anyone doing this DP for the first time, should capture it on film. It's just that good. Somebody broke in and stole the footage, but I'm sure it'll never come back to bite me. Speaking of biting. DP and biting were never synonymous before. They are now.
They're priced a little higher than donuts should be, but that can be said about many top NYC donut places. DP is so original and unusual that it very nearly almost deserves that lofty price tag.
So yes, DPs can be expensive. But it's so worth it. Ask anyone who is a DP regular.
What makes them so different? The dough is different. The tastes are so unusual. They're a little small, but perhaps most uniquely, they're filled with some sort of goo. Often a creamy goo, that isn't so much a filling, but a hidden element of a perfect dough. Like a little goo cavern, an underwater river running through the very heart of the donut. Unexpected and delightful. Filled with taste. Pure doughnut bliss.
DP is all about sharing. Let at least two other people have some. DP is so good it can become addictive. And DP is for adults, not kids. Most kids just don't "get" DP. Don't introduce your spouse to DP. They might love it too much. You might "lose them" to DP addiction. And that goes for parents too. If you show your Mama DP, then first of all, it's just not right. Secondly, what if she loves it as much as you do? Then your Mama is a DP addict. What will your friends think? Will you admit to them that you were the one that introduced her to DP?
Why the rest of the country hasn't caught on and made it a nationwide phenomenon, I have no idea. I'm sure that within 10 years there'll be a Doughnut Plant or a Doughnut Plant rip-off in every major town and within 20 years, in every gas station and Walmart a la Dunkin and Krispy Kreme. We'll all be getting DP'd before long.
But for now, you can only get this here. So do the right thing. Get your arse to New York City and get DP'd. Well you know what I mean. Get down here and try these remarkable donuts. I sh** you not when I say these are the best I've ever had. I'm not sure who in their right mind would not want some DP action, so come and see for yourself why DP is the most beloved and delicious and exciting thing you can get in New York City. Forget DKNY. It's all about DPNY. I'll show you. Later.
And when I say DP I don't mean Dolly Parton, although I'm sure she'd love DP.
