The Donut Pub • 1964

When Wall Street trader Buzzy Geduld walked away from the stock exchange in 1964 to sling dough in Chelsea, The Donut Pub became an instant round-the-clock refuge for night owls, cab drivers, and sugar seekers. The honey-dipped donuts and oversized black and white cookies draw lines out the door, but regulars swear by the classic crullers—still made fresh every few hours. Open 24 hours most days, it's the kind of place where 3 a.m. feels as right as breakfast time.
