About
We’re so excited to launch our newest tour in Brooklyn, New York. Our original Manhattan tour has been around for over 3 years now. When we launched it, we knew we were going to have expand into the boroughs shortly thereafter, specifically Brooklyn. The home to such donut legends as Doughnut Plant and Peter Pan Donuts, we just couldn’t resist. Much like our other tours, this one takes place over 2 hours and you walk about 2 miles, sampling delicious donuts along the way. We begin our tour at Doughnut Plant where we’ll sample some of their most famous donuts. After that, we’ll take a leisurely walk through the Williamsburg portion of Brooklyn providing some history along the way. Our second stop is an amazing local cafe that has delicious varieties of donuts. We’ll keep going onto our 3rd and 4th stop, which are both iconic Brooklyn donut shops, but you’ll have to join us on the tour to find out which ones. The tour ends in the Greenpoint neighborhood, right near the Nassau Avenue train stop.
