Peter Pan Donuts 2022! For you donut lovers and Spider Man Fans here is your must do travel destination. These donuts are delicious and they have a huge variety to pick from. This shop is in the heart of Brooklyn where you'll find the line out the door mainly because the donuts are amazing but also because the shop is pretty small. When I went I got there around 6:30am directly from the airport/airtrain/subway/walking. Getting around New York alone deserves it's own blog. Ha! Anyways, Peter Pan Donut was seen in the movie Spider Man No Way Home where MJ (Zendaya) worked. It's pretty neat to watch it in theaters and then be there in real life. Something I learned while enjoying these donuts is mostly every shop/store in Brooklyn keeps their inventory below ground. So they unload trucks in the street into the ground. Look at the photo, do you see that metal square at the bottom left corner? That's a door, they open it up and unload all the store supplies into there. Then the shop has access from inside the store to bring up what they need. This blew my mind when I seen it! But it makes perfect sense! New York is Vertically large, so of course they would need to maximize space in this way! They have no options to store their inventory in any other way. Since I went so early in the morning there was no line and the majority of the customers were on their way to work so no time for lagging. My advice is do the same, go very early and during the week. You'll thank me later. ;)

“Most of this video will delight you and even the small part that does not (and if you watch it all the way through you'll know exactly what I'm talking about) is so short that it isn't even worth getting upset about. Ya got 8 minutes? Ya got time to watch this.”
- Alex Balk, The Awl
“Owner Donna Siafakas recounts how her Greenpoint bakery has seen the neighborhood evolve from primarily Polish immigrants to today's influx of "big flocks of hipsters," but the film's main focus is the bakery's regular customers, who gather for coffee and egg sandwiches at the counter. Go, meet the restaurant's eclectic group of regulars, who discuss the changing Greenpoint..."

"... the documentary is a quick watch, but it’s able to effectively show everyone who moves through the bakery on a given day, from Greenpoint lifers to newcomers with weird Leonardo DiCaprio-based art projects. Though we’d avoid watching it while hungry, because you’ll only get hungrier seeing all those donuts and egg sandwiches."
- David Colon, Brokelyn
"Filmmakers Keif Roberts and Peter J. Haas have done a splendid job at capturing the delightful sense of community that lies at the sugar-dusted heart of Peter Pan."

"A glimpse inside Donna Siafakas’ bakery in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, that makes you yearn for a hot egg sandwich or chocolate-iced doughnut."
- Abbe Lewis, associate editor
"Donut documentary. What could be better?"
- DonutsAGoGo (@DonutsAGoGO)
"It’s been pretty brutal in the city that never sleeps lately. Icy, snowy, sleety, plus slippery sidewalks and (extra) cranky denizens. So don’t visit right now; it’s horrible here. However! What you can do, from the comfort of your own home, is drool over some of the city’s finest fare: mozz, lox, and donuts. New York, arguably, does them better than anywhere else in the world."
