I refused to let a rainy day stop me from indulging my sugar rush, so I went to the Dunkin' Donuts at Atlantic Plaza, where they offered a free donut with the purchase of a beverage. After buying a ten-ounce cup of white hot chocolate (and getting a strawberry frosted donut), I took a few minutes to enjoy my late breakfast -- not to mention saving $1.06¢ in the process.
As much as I relished my moist snack and savored the creaminess of my drink, it didn't fill me up. I made my way to the Krispy Kreme at Penn Station, where they gave out a complimentary doughnut with no strings attached. The New York Cheesecake caught my eye, and I couldn't wait to wrap my lips around the cheesecake-filled treat topped with cream cheese icing and graham cracker crunch. It tasted good, but had too much filling and not enough topping. (On the bright side, I saved $1.19¢. Yay!)
These franchises weren't the only places where one could get their donut fix; other shops commemorating this day included the Peter Pan Bakery, Doughnut Plant, and Balthazar. I had my fill after eating two of them ... but there's always next year (and beyond).
