Today’s mission was to find doughnuts. Fancy pants doughnuts. Good doughnuts. Yummy doughnuts. I was kind of jonesing for some Jack Frost doughnuts (Cleveland) and the Dunkin Donuts here wasn’t cutting it. Time for a train trip! I suited up for the cold and slung D on and off we went to Long Island City (Queens) to Doughnut Plant (http://doughnutplant.com/).

I have to say the trip was a bit more challenging than I thought it would be. It was a over a half mile from the train station to the shop, which isn’t bad, but with the ice/slush mix and some up and down hill climbing, it left me worn out (I could just be getting old).

Doughnuts acquired.

The return trip, I opted for lazy and went to the closer train station which put us on the 7 train. For me, riding the 7 is always a treat since it’s above ground and you get to watch snippets of the city.

The doughnuts were amazing (great strong flavors, sugary, moist). It’s probably good we don’t live close to this shop. I DEFINITELY would be broke and fat in no time.
