Meet the worst Times Square interloper since the Elmos invasion — the “limited edition” anchovy-cheese donut at weirdly punctuated I’m donut ?

The Japanese bakery chain, which set up its first US store at 154 W. 45th St. last spring, will stop at nothing to get attention from TikTok influencers.

Ugh, donuts.

Swore off them 8 years ago, and haven’t touched one since - it could have ghost pepper jelly filling for all I care.

Nothing wrong with mixing anchovies into the filling of a Boston Creme.

Seems to me that you'd have to discard the cooking oil or only use the oil for anchovy donuts.

This is probably the best thing that could happen under Mamdani.

NYC bagel not an everything bagel with sunflower and other BS.

Real Tribeca 330 am bagels have white/black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion , garlic, rock salt that’s it as someone who lived in NYC this is proper. Tribeca Bagel 24/7 ole reliable for a Uni late night muchie.

Real Tribeca NYC style, Anchovy over Garlic & Herb Schmear with capers this is the way.
