It’s National Donut Day! Like you needed a reason to celebrate the deliciousness of donuts. In celebration of this beloved holiday Krispy Kreme is giving away free donuts. You can visit it’s last NYC location at Krispy Kreme 2 Penn Plaza-Amtrak Level.

If you run on Dunkin,  Dunkin Donuts will give you a free donut with the purchase of a beverage.  There are Dunkin Donuts everywhere in NYC. Just use CityMaps.com‘s search bar and type in Dunkin Donuts to find one near you.

But if you want to celebrate National Donut Day like a boss (A Donut Boss!) then try one of these donut shops. Here are the best donuts in NYC, San Francisco and Austin.

 

Best Doughnuts in New York City

Try their new mini, round dougnuts filled with a rosewater creme custard, dipped in a rosewater glaze and finished with an edible rose petal. A rose by any other name would taste as sweetly.

Blueberry Doughnut Holes at Howdy Donut

Boston Creme at Ken’s Doughnuts
