A Good Sign: The Donut Pub
Terrible name. Good sign. On 14th Street.
skip to main |
skip to sidebar
One of the old book jackets lining the walls of Chumley's. Eternal Shame on Bloomberg, the City Fathers, and the powers that be that this cultural landmark has STILL not been saved and reopened.
The late, great McHale's, the death of which inspired the birth of this blog.
The original, running Jeremiad on the vestiges of Old New York as they are steamrolled under or threatened by the currently ruthless real estate market and the City Fathers' disregard for Gotham's historical and cultural fabric. Est. January 2006.

excellent donuts AND ambiance though.
I never understood how folks could choose the dunkin donuts a few doors down over this place.
Love the Donut Pub even if they don't sell beer.
