PrintBest Cream-filled Donut in NYC is Currently Not Available
You probably didn't know that it's National Cream-Filled Donut Day. It is certainly not a widely celebrated holiday. In fact, it's probably not celebrated anywhere with the possible exception of the ancestral home of Dunkin' Donuts, Quincy, Massachusetts.
In New York we can't celebrate it because I can't think of one cream-filled doughnut worth celebrating with the exception of Bouchon Bakery's Boston Cream-filled doughnut, which it is not even currently making. BB is making an incredible lemon curd doughnut tomorrow and Sunday, but I have checked with the Cream-filled Donut Council, and it has ruled that a lemon curd-filled doughnut is not in the cream-filled doughnut family.
So go to Bouchon Bakery tomorrow or Sunday, order a delicious lemon curd-filled donut, and ask when the Boston Cream donut is coming back. Even Thomas Keller might respond to public pressure.

As a temporary New York resident from another country, and a doughnut lover, my biggest concern with the doughnuts here is that they are served cold! Good as the Bouchon Bakery ones are and Doughnut Plant et al, how much better would they be if still warm from the fryer! As a deep fried product I think a lot of the magic of doughnuts ebbs away each second they're out of the oil. In the country I grew up in the major doughnut chain will still cook their (cake) doughnuts to order, meaning often a wait of a few minutes but well worth it!

rogerf dahling! I wholeheartedly agree. Everywhere here, unless they are constantly cooking, one must track to a shop when cooks are baking for the day ie at some ungodly wee wee hour of the morning.
