HOLE HEARTED
Who makes the best donuts in America?
Apparently, it's National Donut Day - an endeavor we're fairly sure was invented by the good folks of Dunkin' (who are offering a "free donut with DD beverage" special today). But the announcement - which of course we first saw on Twitter - spurred a pretty good office debate: Where are the best donuts in America?
Almost every NYLON Editor emailed their picks, including Donut Plant's experimental foodie flavors in Manhattan, Brooklyn favorite Pies n' Thighs, Portland's zany cult institution Voodoo Donuts, Massachusetts mainstay Kane's in Saugus, and BabyCakes gluten free versions, which are beyond yummy and now even available at Disney World - no joke. Our art director Nick Bloom-Scaglione also insisted that Krispy Kreme was number one, and... well... we definitely didn't argue.
But although it was nice to know that even our fashion editors eat donuts sometimes, our search still felt incomplete. That's where you come in. What's the best donut shop in America? You tell us. Leave your picks in the comments section, and don't forget to be specific - as in, we need to know your favorite flavor so we can order it ourselves.

DunWell donuts in Brooklyn (Bushwick). Best donuts EVER. The chocolate peanut butter cup donut is just ridiculous.

One thing I know is that Mighty Fine Donuts are not my favorite! They are way too sugary and soggy. I like Dunkin' Donuts better, but my favorite donut shop is a local place called Mighty Fine Donuts.

Did you get permission to use the donut image? I am pretty sure you did not because that's the picture that comes up on google as soon as you search for "donut"

Peter Pan Bakery in Greenpoint (BK) has amazing donuts, more on the traditional side. And St. Joe's Coffee in Maine...mmmm...

Dynamo Donuts in San Francisco are the BEST donuts! The Chocolate Rose which is more like eating chocolate cake shaped like a donut or the Bacon Maple Apple are really good.
