Dreaming of Doughnuts

Federal Donuts in New York? Yes, please. Image by Courtesy of Cook N Solo

I may have to skip my usual yogurt-and-fruit breakfast tomorrow morning and head to Nolita, where James Beard award-winning chef Michael Solomonov and company are setting up a pop-up Federal Donuts at Chef’s Club on Mulberry Street.

Federal Donuts is part the Philadelphia-based Cook N Solo group, which includes Zahav, Abe Fisher and Dizengoff — an offshoot of which recently opened in Chelsea Market.

Friday only, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 a.m., Solomonov will be frying up donuts and other fresh treats. From 11 a.m.—2 p.m., Korean-style fried chicken sandwiches will be served.

Could a NYC Federal Donuts be far behind? We certainly hope so.

For now, there’s always yogurt.
