Doughnut Plant (NY) - Beware of the Waistline

By ChuckEats   May 23, 2007

You could start your own doughnut plant, right around your waist, if you visit Manhattan too often. My first visit to Doughnut Plant left me wondering what the hype was about. Sure, more-artisinal-than-normal ingredients for a doughnut but the end result left me unsatisfied. The doughnuts are made by hand with natural ingredients - [...] FULL REVIEW

The Afterglow: The Doughnut Plant

By The Gourmetro   May 07, 2007

The Doughnut Plant has haunted us Gourmetros for too long. Two weeks ago, we'd had enough of hearing rave reviews, so we trucked down from SpaHa to see for ourselves whether these were indeed gifts from some benevolent yeasty/cakey doughnut god. We tried to get down there sooner, we really did, but the Plant's schedule and LES locale kept us from their fatty comestables. Oh, and the other FULL REVIEW

Doughnut Plant Around Town

By Blognut   Mar 26, 2007

Donut aficionado and entrepreneur Mark Israel, proprietor of the Lower East Side’s The Doughnut Plant, has definitely learned to take advantage of this city’s severe lack of choice Donut dealers. It seems like every time I turn the corner I find another of Israel’s irresistible creations staring me in the face, prompting a speedy [...] FULL REVIEW

Breakfast of Champions

By Sweet Freak   Feb 25, 2007

Indulge your sweet tooth first thing in the morning Sometimes the smell of Dunkin’ Donuts’ jelly doughnuts wafting through the air is so beguiling, so inviting, that it’s all but impossible to pass a franchise without — literally or figuratively — inhaling a half dozen. But after a visit to the Lower East Side’s Doughnut Plant, you realize that indulging in anything but these perfectly puffy fried cakes borders on sacrilegious. Even if you’ve never been to “the plant,” there’s a good chance you’ve seen these monstrous doughnuts around the city. The gooey, doughy, sometimes square treats are sold everywhere from Dean & Deluca markets to... FULL REVIEW

Doughnut Plant on Court Street!

By Blognut   Jan 28, 2007

No longer must us Brooklynites bear the clamorous, piss-soaked ride on the F-train to fulfill our Sunday morning Doughnut Plant cravings. Thanks to Cobblestone Foods we can now land a freshly-made Mark Israel creation right here in Carroll Gardens. FULL REVIEW

A Morning Walk in New York

By Sweet Napa   Oct 04, 2006

Raspberry Doughnut and Tres Leches Doughnut from the Doughnut Plant. Both very good, if a bit chewy and sweet. I really liked the ribbon of caramel-ish cream inside the Tres Leche, which made it even more moist and cakey. FULL REVIEW

Ex-pat Nut

By Blognut   Jul 25, 2006

Sunday afternoon. A dragging Blognut steps into Joe for an iced coffee and an Amy Sedaris cupcake. While the actress/comedian regularly peddles her famous cakes at Joe, there is no telling when she'll actually bring some by – "None today," says the girl behind the counter. She operates on her own baking schedule. But atop the counter we notice something far more desirable than any celebrity-made edible – a plate of Mark Israel's unmistakable yeast doughnuts.

The Doughnut Plant

By Blognut   Mar 19, 2006

Blognut enters Doughnut Plant Sunday afternoon after subsisting on coffee all morning in anticipation for the now somewhat legendary NYC donut purveyor. Existing somewhere in between Lower East Side hipness and the dried scallop bins of Chinatown, Doughnut Plant sits quietly on Grand Street (between Essex and Norfolk), cooking up some of New York's most intriguing baked goods.

Donut as Drug and Holy Salvation

By I Eat NY   Feb 20, 2006

When my family first moved to Roanoke Virginia in the eighties, we lived in a hotel located within the Kmart plaza while our house was being built. My middle sister Lena likes to refer to these months as our refugee period. We’d been living down south for a few years, so our old NY tradition of getting bagels after church had ended because they just didn’t exist back then. We’d moved states twice before, so we were an adaptable bunch and Dunkin’ Donuts was just across the street from our hotel. So after church, we’d walk across the road to get a box of donuts. Thank God, for the dozen because I’ve always had trouble deciding between the Boston Cream and the Apple Cinnamon filled. To this day, donuts are my drug of choice. I can not say no to a donut.

Donuts Don’t Grow on Trees

By The Impetuous Epicure   Jun 22, 2005

Mariko at Super Eggplant posted about Doughnut Plant and their amazing jelly doughnuts with evenly distributed jelly. She requested that any New Yorker should visit and write about it. So, here it is (Several months late - Oops?). Honestly, I’ve never been to the area of Grand Street where Doughnut Plant is located before. For the sheltered teen who hasn’t really gone anywhere further than 2 miles of his neighborhood, the area seems kind of dangerous. Kossar’s Bialys (another place for me to check out) is just two doors down. A nearby school loomed overhead and creeped me out (this was in broad daylight, mind you). Maybe I just get unnerved by places of study. Who knows. FULL REVIEW

French crullers

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Mar 25, 2005

Yesterday was a massive solitary, impulsive fooding day--if you don't believe me, look at my walking route outlined on this map. I wouldn't have eaten the above had I not walked along 1st Ave and ranomly spotted the Old Fashion Donut shop near 14th St. By this time I don't remember what it tasted like but when I held the ridiculously huge cruller (for $0.80) in my palm, I could feel the sweet vibes of fried dough seem into my veins. How? Take a closer look: FULL REVIEW

Fooding tour

Today I went on a little fooding tour with my brother, Bert, and longtime friend from middle school, Jesse. They didn't care where we went just as long as we did something so I took them to Great NY Noodletown, a restaurant I've never been to but have heard of a lot. FULL REVIEW
