The Foods of NY Tours Greenwich Village tour with Cindy.

There is so damn much food in NYC, I feel that no trip is complete without a proper food tour. On my last trip, I took an awesome food tour of the Lower East Side with The Enthusiastic Gourmet. This time, I wanted to cover a new neighborhood, so I went with the Foods of NY Tours Greenwich Village tour. The Village, as the locals call it, was the birthplace of the Beat Movement and tons-o-hippies back in the day. Thanks to gentrification, the place is just as cool as it was back then, with only twenty times the rent cost. And the food is still freaking delicious. Read the rest of this entry »

The Doughnut Plant: Satisfying chunkies and gourmands for years.

Sorry for the absence mates, but hey, at least I have good food porn to show for it. In dire need of a holiday, a proper meal and a few good friends, I took myself to NYC for an extended weekend. It was a rejuvenating, drunk-karaoke-ing, gourmet doughnut-filled escapade, because that is pretty much the only way I roll, you know! **********************************************************************

The precious! My coconut cream pie filled doughnut from The Doughnut Plant.

Once upon a time, a doughnut changed my life. In all fairness, it was mind-blowing. It was a coconut cream pie filled doughnut, which also happens to be my favorite pie filling, and it gave me a total mouth-gasm. I discovered it on my first trip to NYC four years ago, when I did a food tour of the Lower East Side.

I love me some food porn. I have only visited NYC once in my entire life, but I managed to do more in three days than most people who live their entire lives in the city. One of those things involved a food tour, and the very first place we went to was the Donut Plant, a gourmet donut shop that makes me weak in the knees as I type this. Most of their donuts are square, even the filled donuts have holes in them, and they make the most insane flavors! I had a coconut cream pie donut and the best damn chocolate donut in the world. That was over a year and half ago, and I STILL crave them to this day. I convinced my friend and fellow blogger Day to let me live vicariously through her pictures, and got her to visit the beloved Donut Plant!
