Google is notorious for providing their employees free lunch.
Beginning today, certain Chelsea MTA subway stops have free Wi-FI.
Per Transit Wireless (the company Google teamed up with to offer the Wi-Fi), the following locations have Wi-Fi:
Let’s looked at these MTA stops mapped along with Google’s NYC headquarters:
Probably not a coincidence that these stops are the only MTA ones near Google.
Chelsea Menu
Went over to the Doughnut Plant grand opening at Chelsea Hotel. At this point, I have to confess I haven’t trekked over to their original LES location yet.
Donut plant is amazing since it shows what you can accomplish by doing one thing well. For a person like myself who is used to Krispy Kreme and generic mom & pop donut shops in CA, Doughnut Plant is an eye opener. The ingredients are premium and the price doesn’t shy away from NYC pricing (think $3 donuts).
Doughnut Pillow Wall
The Chelsea location is a decent size, especially for NYC. Seating exists as a real possibility here.
Carrot Cake Donut
The cream cheese filling made the carrot cake donut pack a much bigger punch. Cream cheese in desserts is akin to bacon in anything. Delicious.
Cinnamon Bun
Cinnamon bun was alright. More of a filler type food than the main attraction.
Oatmeal Cake
The oatmeal cake was my favorite donut from Chelsea. Flaked with oatmeal crusting, the texture is amazingly crispy. While not as healthy as a bowl of oatmeal, this donut is a great example of experimenting with nontraditional dessert toppings.
Peanut Butter & Jelly Donut
A remake of the traditional jelly donut. This guy got squared up and peanut butter topped. High in calories? You bet. Great as part of a routine diet? Yes, if it’s once a month or less.
