Mmmm Donuts

I’d read that Sammy’s Chinese Restaurant had opened up a donut shop, but when I went to the location on Bleecker near West 4th, I didn’t see it. I realized later that the donut shop is next to the Sammy’s on 6th Ave. and West 11th. Now, I’ve only had Sammy’s delivery, which I don’t think is a good indicator because delivery is almost never good. But the donuts are not made onsite. Rather, they are sent to the store daily from the Nightingale Bakery on 118th St (?). If you like cake donuts, this place delivers. For 70 cents, the donut is huge and dense. Perfect for dipping in their mild coffee, which is 1.10 with a donut and twenty cents more without. I thought this price structure was interesting - the donut holes are 3 for a buck, so it’s cheaper to get a big donut than 3 little ones. Lastly, the lids for the coffee are cool because they have a little open and close spout so you don’t spill the brew.
