Dough

If a giant donut glistening with a colourful glaze is your idea of a good time, then look no further than Dough. Cafe au lait is my personal fave but the filled lemon curd doughnuts with a scorched meringue are the stuff of miracles.

Doughnut Plant

Owner Mark Israel is the king of cake doughnuts. But he is also an expert in yeast doughnuts too! He is most famous for bringing Crème Brûlée doughnuts to the world as well as Blackout doughnuts and so much more!

Doughnuttery

If small cute things is your kinda jam, then look no further than Doughnuttery. These doughnuts are small enough to fit in your palm and the mini rings are fried right in front of you! The dough balls are then doused in creative sugars like Flower Power and served with delicious dipping sauces like beer caramel (how could you not!?)

Dun-Well Doughnuts

If you’re plant-based or vegan then you will find all that and more at Dun-Well Doughnuts. This was New York’s first ever 100% vegan doughnut shop and it is still the most sought after. Seasonal favourites include pumpkin spice during fall and they have a cult following amongst the vegan crowd!

Moe’s Doughs Donut Shop

Do you remember the rainbow phase almost every bakery went through in 2016? Well, you’ll still find rainbow doughnuts over at Moe’s Doughs in Brooklyn. Not only do they look good, but they taste pretty good too!

The Doughnut Project

One of the newer doughnut shops to pop up in New York City is The Doughnut Project in the West Village. The flavours are inventive and as a naysayer myself, you might even be converted to savoury doughnuts! But there’s enough sweet to combat the savoury, so if sugary doughnuts are more your vibe, try their Peanut Butter Jelly Time special.

Peter Pan Donut & Pastry Shop

This doughnut institution in Greenpoint, Brooklyn is still pumping out their specialties sixty years on. The prices are as good as the bites, so you really can’t go wrong. This doughnut shop is a solid injection of nostalgia in both flavours and style. One for the OG’s!

Things to do in Luxembourg City: A Delightful Weekend Guide

This roundup of things to do in Luxembourg City was created in collaboration with Visit Luxmbourg, who graciously hosted me on this trip. Imagine if you will, a miniscule wonderland packed with castles, greenery and slate grey rooftops over hues of pastel yellow and pink. A place where everybody speaks four languages, where trams are rainbow, and where electric buses are capable of  driving themselves. It appears this wonderland does exist, my friends… and it’s called Luxembourg. *brief pause for gasps and shock* Landlocked between France, Germany and Belgium, Luxembourg is a micro-country known mostly as a metropolitan hub for civil servants, bankers and pleeeenty of cross-border commuters. As such, it’s no surprise that Luxembourg hasn’t quite acquired the tourist magnetism of its nearby neighbours. But you know me, never one to judge until I’ve seen it for myself! And truthfully, when I was invited to explore Luxembourg City for 24 hours with Vis...

Hiking Kerlingarfjöll Geothermal Area (Icelandic Highlands)

Hiking Guide to Kerlingarfjöll in Iceland Kerlingarfjöll, Iceland Deep within Iceland’s central highlands, Kerlingarfjöll is a group of small geothermically active and rust-colored mountains capped with snow. Here’s how to organize your own self-drive adventure. Kerlingarfjöll is a lesser-known day-hiking experience not too far away from Iceland’s famous Golden Circle route.

Hiking these colorful rhyolite hills will expose you to hot springs, geysers, steam vents, and boiling mud pots. In this travel guide you’ll learn tips for visiting this unique and p...
