Dough Donuts

Donut market stand hiding inside Urbanspace Vanderbilt

So after trying Beiler's Donuts in Philly, my expectations for New York donuts were pretty damn high. Dough Donuts seemed to have a pretty good rating for donuts in the city and we stumbled upon a market stall location inside an Urbanspace hall. The hall was similar to Grand Central Market in LA or the Reading Terminal Market in Philly, where it was basically a food hall of some really fantastic local vendors. We tried the lemon poppyseed donut and a plain vanilla glazed donut. These were humungous, and quite pricey. The lemon flavour was pretty nice, but the donut dough and texture was lacking. It was almost like a cake. Quite crumbly and overly sweet. It didn't have the elasticity or crunch that I was after. So a tad disappointing.
