About
Times Square is famous for Broadway theaters, the New Year’s Eve ball drop and being “the crossroads of the world,” but what about donuts?
Our Times Square Tour will take you to some amazing spots with truly scene-stealing donuts. Our first stop is pastry chef, Tony Park’s dazzling Italian gem in the hubbub of Times Square where you’ll indulge in extraordinary bombolone. Next we’ll take you to the pantheon of donuts where you’ll nosh on what truly is the ‘nectar of the gods.’ Our final stop is in Rockefeller Center at a tiny donut shop frequented by cast members of SNL and the Today Show (among others) known for incredible flavors and brioche-like dough.
We think you’ll be wowed.
Along the route, we’ll highlight landmarks and history in two of New York’s most vibrant and famous districts as well as provide you with recommendations of great spots to eat, shop and explore.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
