Worth it
  • Address740 Broadway, New York, NY 10003
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

The Donut Pub, one of the greatest donut shops in NYC, has been there for decades after opening in 1964. A wall of donuts is illuminated. And as you giddily walk up to the counter good luck trying to pick just one. Seriously, you have to take a lap to see all the options.

They’re open 24/7 so there’s no rush on making a decision. The overwhelming options help make the Donut Pub one of the best donut shops in NYC. Also worth noting, Donut Pub is a peanut and tree-nut free facility, so folks with allergies can rest assured.
