Sat Oct 10 12:03:59 -0700 2009 1115290 heyming 1 5093675 The Bar Room at the Modern has beignets on their dessert menu, which are served with maple ice cream, a caramel dipping sauce, and a fruit marmalade (seems to be mango on the current menu). These come up often as the favorite beignets of many people, and they are among the best fancier donuts in NYC. Sat Oct 10 13:07:19 -0700 2009 5093591 204151 hcbk0702 2 5093706 Ditto. We love them there. Sat Oct 10 13:25:35 -0700 2009 5093675 10936 kathryn 1 5094701 Street fair vendors sell zeppole's. They have a different shape, but are topped with powdered sugar and yummy when fresh. Sun Oct 11 06:24:03 -0700 2009 5093591 268231 MahatmaKanejeeves 2 5095385 When have you seen them fresh? Most of the time, I see huge piles just sitting around getting cold. :( Sun Oct 11 14:00:23 -0700 2009 5094701 10936 kathryn 3 5096492 Odds on finding fresh are low. One could demand fresh or walk away. I wanted to mention another name for fried dough that is available in NYC. Caveat emptor as usual.
