In our comparison: #36 of 73 in Food & Pizza Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Our East Village tour begins at one of New York’s donut institutions, Donut Pub. Donut Pub has been around for over 50 years and has some of the best donuts in New York City. 

We’ll showcase some of their most famous flavors and you’ll get to sample many of them. From here, we’ll take a walk through the lovely neighborhoods, high rises, parks, and landmarks which dot East Village and make it one of New York’s most iconic neighborhoods.

At our next stop, we’ll try some classic Italian Bomboloni that you’ll swear came right from the old country. If you’ve never had bomboloni, you are in for a treat! From here, we’ll highlight some of the music history and icons in the surrounding neighborhood including CBGB and Bowery Electric one our way to our third stop. 

Here, we’ll highlight their signature cardamom buns which were recently a viral sensation on TikTok. And last, but not least, we’ll end our tour with some incredible artisan donuts which rotate seasonally.
