Peter Pan Donut & Pastry Shop • 1973

The vintage pink-and-white tiled interior sets the scene at this Greenpoint institution, where owner Christos Siafakas has perfected old-fashioned handmade donuts since taking over in the early 1970s. His decades of experience as a baker throughout New York City inform every batch, from timeless glazed rounds to original recipes developed in-house. The line out the door on weekend mornings tells you everything you need to know about the quality.
