the donut pub definitely has a  and all the basic doughnut treats – cake, chocolate, chocolate dipped, cream filled, sugar, cinnamon buns and crullers.  nothings fancy.  just the basics, and just what you would like to get at a dunkin’ donuts but this is in fact an old-fashioned place so at least it feels like a better experience and definitely not a chain.  donut pub started back in 1960s, and there is still a sense of where it came from inside with some of the charm remaining with a great long counter, a tiled floor and cute chrome benches.

i was excited to find that they not only had black and white cookies, but my they actually sold, as a product an all-white or an all-black cookie.  since i’ve never been much of a fan of the chocolate side this seemed like a spot made in heaven.  now if only that donut pub cookie hadn’t been so darn sweet.  i cannot say i would recommend going out of your way to the donut pub, which also carries sandwiches and soups, but if you’re in the neighborhood and need a treat it’s a good alternative.  donut pub, 203 west 14th street at seventh avenue, manhattan, new york, .
