Do you like sweets, but at the same time want to be known as an erudite? Then take a tour of donut shops in New York. Newyorkcity.com.
The gastronomy tour takes you through four traditional Manhattan shops where you can taste unique donuts. You've probably already bought this typical American delicacy, but this tour takes you to a new level of taste sensations. You will find out what a real American donut should be like!
The guide will take you through the patisserie and at the same time show you the beautiful part of Manhattan.

Your guide will meet you at 200 Fifth Avenue (opposite the Golden Hours). First, you will go to the Donut Plant confectionery, where you will taste the first donut. There are pillows on the walls in the shape of all the donuts sold in this candy store. The donut that you try in it will pleasantly surprise you. On the way to other shops, the guide will tell you about the history and architecture of New York. You will walk down Chelsea, Fifth Avenue and then into Greenwich Village. This area of Manhattan is very atmospheric, with the charm of old New York. You will not find tall skyscrapers or crowds of tourists here. Along the way, you can already look forward to the treats that are yet to come!

There will be two more donut shops that you will visit before completing the tour at the Donut Project in the West Village. In each place you have to try the best donuts in the range. Each pastry shop has its own approach to both dough and glaze. For example, I tried a cronut (donut and croissant mix), a donut with salted caramel and chocolate, and a donut with different fillings and seeds.
