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.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.
