Soon you might not be able to buy a 32-ounce cup of Mountain Dew in the city any more, but don’t worry because you can still get your sugar fix today: it’s free donut day! Dunkin’ Donuts and Krispy Kreme are giving away a free donut today in celebration of this dubious “holiday.” DD requires you to buy a drink, but KK says no purchase is required. There is, by the way, all of two Krispy Kremes in NYC, while there are at least 48, 000 Dunkins. So we know about the chains, what about all those little donut shops that make Brooklyn such an artisanal pasturesmithed food capital?
We called Peter Pan bakery in Greenpoint (Tina Fey’s favorite) and Dough in Bed-Stuy, but neither is doing anything special today. Only Dunwell (those vegans!) in Bushwick is doing anything at all: giving away a free coffee with a purchase of a half dozen or more.
