Itinerary
Your donut journey begins at Angelina’s Bakery, a hidden gem in the bustling heart of Times Square. Known for its Italian-inspired pastries and donuts, Angelina’s offers a uniquely European twist on classic treats. As you savor their delightful creations, we’ll dive into the history of Times Square, tracing its transformation from a horse carriage hub in the late 19th century to the neon-lit epicenter of entertainment it is today.
From there, we’ll walk to the "Disneyworld of Donuts", which you'll have to see to believe. This isn’t your average donut shop—watch the mesmerizing glaze waterfall as their famous original donuts are freshly made right in front of you. While you indulge, we’ll share stories of Broadway’s golden age and the bright lights that made Times Square world-famous.
Finally, we’ll head to Rockefeller Center, just steps away, for a stop at Dough Donuts. Known for their oversized, pillowy donuts and bold flavors, Dough is the perfect spot to round out your tour. As you enjoy these artisanal treats, we’ll recount the history of Rockefeller Center, a masterpiece of Art Deco design and a cornerstone of New York’s cultural legacy.
This tour blends the iconic energy of Times Square with the comforting joy of world-class donuts, offering a sweet and satisfying way to experience the heart of New York City.
