For winter break this year I had a trip to Cuba planned for class at the end of January. This meant for Christmas and New Years things were going to be low key which was fine because I got to stay at home and work. Because money makes things happen. Sad but true.

So for New Years one of my friends in Rochester proposed that we go to NYC for a week to hang out. It ended up that we would be in the city for New Years. No we did not stand in time square when the ball dropped.. everyone I asked said it was way overrated and the idea of standing in one spot in the freezing cold to watch a ball drop didn't sound as fun and running around NY hitting new places to eat. So eat we did!

First stop - Donut Planet!

Of course all of these places were recommended by friends, I do very little research ahead of time because everyone has been to enough cool places and we run into random places just because they look good so I stay open to these things when I'm in NY.

Donut planet was great. I ordered the Citron donut which was soooo delicious.

I'm not a huge donut person. One of my teachers in High School causally mentioned that donuts are made of a type of fat that your body breaks down last. Aka every donut you've ever eaten is just sitting in your body as fat until every other type of fat is broken down. Let's just say I avoid donuts now when I can.

But when at donut planet, one donut is okay. That citron donut was worth it too.

The little space was super cute too. Little tables the shape of donuts lined up along the wall. The benches were lined with cute little circle and square donuts of all colors. And the walls were filled with stuffed donut pillows (I wanted them all). So yeah, I'd go back if someone asked, no regrets!
