This year on Fat Tuesday, February 16, as Mardi Gras kicks off (socially distanced and from more than a thousand miles away, of course), many cultures celebrate by making and eating some form of deep-fried pastry. While Polish pączki are traditional for the holiday, as are beignets (and king cakes) down in New Orleans, nearly every global cuisine has its own unique take on the beloved donut. And here in the Big Apple, whether you celebrate the holiday or not, there are luckily hundreds of donut options to choose from (not to mention a perfect excuse to indulge). From a spot in Queens dedicated to celebrating Filipino flavors (which at one point carried an 800-person waiting list); to a beloved 70-year old Brooklyn bakery where the workers’ charming uniforms have their own following; to a vintage food truck stationed outside an award-winning Manhattan restaurant, NYC remains blessed with an abundance of diverse donut selections–second only to the devoted individuals who dedicate their days to creating them. 
 
Here, our list of 16 of the best donut spots across the city which are guaranteed to hit your sweet spot. Please consult each locale for specifics on their daily offerings, current timings, and delivery availability, all subject to change (frequently). And as always when venturing out in these times, be sure to mask up and social distance responsibly.

Globally-inspired donuts include mango lassi, miso cider, and Kafe’ Hawaij, a pecan donut made with a Yemeni-inspired spice blend.

Vegan and gluten-free, Japan’s mochi donuts have fully entered the stateside donut lexicon, delighting many with their stretchy, almost spring-like texture. The donuts come in a variety of flavors, many on offer at charming Chinatown tea shop and bakery, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alimama.nyc/" target="_blank">Alimama</a>, from matcha to ube to cereal. Mochi munchkins like royal milk tea and taro round out the menu, and the delicate, flaky boba cream puffs delight in size for what they may lack in pastry weight.&nbsp; How to order: Walk-ups accepted, open daily except Tuesdays; online ordering available via <a href="https://postmates.com/merchant/alimama-tea-new-york" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer sponsored">Postmates</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.seamless.com/menu/alimama-tea-89-bayard-st-frnt-a-new-york/942125" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer sponsored">Seamless</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ubereats.com/new-york/food-delivery/alimama-tea/Q64WjnHoQU6BjpHMXKcRkA" target="_blank">UberEats</a>.

There’s an undeniable warmth that greets anyone stepping through the cobalt blue doors of Danny Meyer’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dailyprov/" target="_blank">Daily Provisions</a>, which has expanded from its original jewel box-size Union Square location with a larger additional space on the Upper West Side. This all-day cafe boasts many favorites from regulars (spectacular breakfast sandwiches, excellent coffee, and even ice cream), but it’s the magnificent French crullers that keep stealing the show. Pastry chef Christina Lisa offers three on the current menu–passionfruit coconut, maple, and cinnamon.&nbsp; How to order: Walk-ups accepted; online ordering and pickup available by <a href="https://www.dailyprovisionsnyc.com/pickup-and-delivery/" target="_blank">location</a>; nationwide delivery available via <a href="https://www.goldbelly.com/daily-provisions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer sponsored">Goldbelly</a>.

While the gorgeous shock-of-pink Mexican hibiscus donut is among the best-known flavors at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/doughdoughnuts/" target="_blank">Dough</a>, this beloved NYC chain (started over a decade ago by co-founder Fany Gerson who has since left) offers a slew of year-round, seasonal, and vegan flavors made with their signature brioche dough.

Long before current NYC mayoral candidate <a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewYang/status/1350888038218530828/photo/1" target="_blank">Andrew Yang</a> was spotted there during his ongoing food tour, the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/doughnutplant/" target="_blank">Doughnut Plant</a> had been offering nearly as many types of donuts as it does flavors—in almost as many locations city-wide. Sourdough or yeast, filled squares, or doughseeds. Vegan, gluten-free, cake, and more. And that’s before revealing the flavors: Valrhona chocolate, vanilla bean, marcona almond, passion fruit sour doughnut, peanut butter and blackberry jam, coconut cream, tres leches, and wild blueberry (just to name a few). How to order: <a href="https://order.doughnutplant.com/locations/doughnutplant" target="_blank">Online ordering</a> available based on location; nationwide shipping available via <a href="https://www.goldbelly.com/doughnut-plant" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer sponsored">Goldbelly</a>.

Savory and sweet versions are available in equal measure at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thedoughnutproject/" target="_blank">The Doughnut Project</a>, a cheerful and vibrant shop that’s the brainchild of a former attorney and bartender duo who met by chance in NYC. Unusual flavor pairings include beet and ricotta, olive oil and black pepper, and The (famed) Everything Doughnut, which (like it sounds) has seeds of every variety, garlic, and sea salt. Sweeter offerings include <a href="https://www.thedoughnutproject.com/doughnut-menu/df94rvu58wwnmxtv9d83n1dds68jm3" target="_blank">black forest crème brûlée</a>, chocolate ganache, Tahitian vanilla, and vegan options with coconut, maple, or cereal milk glazes.

The oft-hailed entirely vegan donut shop, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dunwelldoughnuts/" target="_blank">Dun-Well Doughnuts</a>, opened by Dan Dunbar and Christopher Hollowell (hence the name), is now in its tenth year. While they <a href="https://evgrieve.com/2020/02/dun-well-doughnuts-is-done-with-st.html" target="_blank">closed</a> their St. Marks location last February, Dun-Well is in no short supply around the city—found in select Whole Foods and bakeries in Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn.

Discovering her late grandmother’s recipe for leche flan led pastry chef Kimberly Camara (an Eleven Madison Park alum) to open <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fromkora/" target="_blank">Kora</a>. Her Filipino heritage served as the guiding force, when Camara and her partner Kevin Borja created the intensely popular donuts, debuting them in the summer of 2020 from an apartment in Woodside—often selling out in minutes. Recent donuts on offer (they change weekly) included champorado, a sweet chocolate Filipino rice porridge; ube, a yam-based dessert; and pili, a type of tropical tree nut. Kora’s brioche dough forms the base, then they are paired with elements like ube custard, pili nut praline mousseline, house-made mora jam, and Camara’s grandmother’s flan. How to order: Online ordering available via <a href="https://fromkora.com" target="_blank">website</a> on Mondays; check Kora’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fromkora/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> for details to order.

Presenting a catalogue of delights each weekend, her sweet-and-savory menu includes a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/musketroom/" target="_blank">rotating selection</a> of donut flavors—King Cake, grapefruit meringue, apple brown butter, guava cream cheese, and raspberry passionfruit.

For seven decades, this charming donut shop—still reminiscent of its 1950s origins and decor—has served Greenpoint daily while garnering a multitude of fans in New Yorkers across many generations. The current owners, Donna and Christos Siafakas, bought it in the early 1990s (Donna, inspired by a television show, sourced the retro-style uniforms which have become so popular with customers they’ve been lent as Halloween <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2016/01/17/nyregion/mmmm-doughnuts/s/17JOINTSS-slide-UHNO.html" target="_blank">costumes</a>). Amazingly, nearly everything is still done by hand (cutting, frying, finishing). Favorites include the red velvet, blueberry buttermilk, and toasted coconut, plus classics like the powdered old-fashioned, Boston creme, and apple crumb.&nbsp; How to order: Walk-ins accepted, open daily.

Upon arriving nearly six years ago, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wildairnyc/" target="_blank">Wildair</a> has been lauded for its inventive cuisine, its brilliant approach to natural wines, and cool-kid ambiance. Despite a pandemic-era pivot to solely sandwiches and pastries, Wildair is now tackling donuts.
