I usually went with a couple of other misfits. We'd go to the piers to toke and to give or receive. <BR/><BR/>After a hard day of smoking weed and lying down or getting laid, we'd get the munchies. I remember all of us rummaging through our pockets and purses for change. If we could come up with about $2 or so, that would be enough for four of us to munch out.<BR/><BR/>Anything tastes good when you've got the munchies. But I haven't toked in more than twenty years, and Donut Pub's donuts (especially the vanilla frosted donuts with chocolate stripes and cherry filling in the hole!) and muffins taste better than ever. Today I was drawn in by a black-and-white cookie. It was divine!<BR/><BR/>Ahh...What would my life have been without Donut Pub?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-82015921339854028892007-12-22T20:41:00.000-05:002007-12-22T20:41:00.000-05:00The Donut Pub used to be called the Donut Hut.

Fortunately it reopened, albeit under a new name but the exact same chocolate ring donuts with sprinkles. <BR/>Before closing, a donut cost 40 cents; after reopening, it climbed to 80 cents.<BR/>Also, around that time a Dunkin Donuts opened across the street on 7th Ave. just below 14th St. For some reason it didn't last long.<BR/>Great article on the Donut Pub in The Villager last March:<BR/>http://www.thevillager.com/villager_204/rivaldoughuntstones.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-9164416095114778442007-12-19T15:10:00.000-05:002007-12-19T15:10:00.000-05:00Mmmm.

From the spinning stools to the polish waitresses in uniform, this place is an institution. Their donuts are my favorite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-87979273465812512202007-12-19T10:38:00.000-05:002007-12-19T10:38:00.000-05:00Ah, the donut pub.

I used to work down the street and pop in every Friday for a plain cruller (I totally recommend that you dip it into your coffee). The coffee is also true diner coffee, not dishwater (not for me all the time, but it has it's place).tenpennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660062363972671315noreply@blogger.com
