Attention lovers of fried dough and sugary-goodness: NYC’s first annual Donut Fest kicks off on January 23 at Verboten in Brooklyn. So what does a donut festival entail apart from tasting delicious superlative rings, crullers and long-johns (plus, hot java to wash ‘em down) from the best donut shops in the city? Er, what more could you want?!
Tickets ($35–$50) are broken down by three time slots: VIP (9:30am–11:30pm), Session 1 (11:30am–2pm) and Session 2 (2:30pm–5pm).

And one lucky donut shop will be crowned the king of all fasnachts.
