Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

You need to walk in, say one bite everybody knows the rules, take one bite to see the fluffyness, one to see the filling, and give an non round score. ;D

Extra browny points if the store owner is charismatic or has a good history

I'd bring Ungers donuts, but alas, our flight is at 550am :P

Though @CheskyGold @aussiebochur @whYME and @Something Fishy devoured the 2 dozen frozen ungers donuts I brought on the RV trip in about 120 seconds.

Any other Chanuka donuts in NYC worth trying besides Sesame and Breadberry?
Schreibers. Hands down.
+100. And they're also just 2 dollars apiece for the custard (must have). No ripoffs.

Royal donuts. (tastes great- better than some others, but to be honest, it is missing the extra $5 cost and the half cookie/half wafer roll/whip cream on top).
Actually, Royal advertised that they opened a popup store on 18th and 56th in BP, selling all types of donuts and donut making/decorating kits etc. They've been making great donuts for decades.

Honestly I tried all these donuts. To me the best ones are from Doma and I was pretty full when I tried it. Nothing like a fresh donut just out of the fryer

If you are doing Patis. Stick with the Paris Brest. Its the best one by far. I did not like any of the other ones. They are releasing some pareve ones soon. Ill update once I try them
