"You probably have a go-to sandwich spot, a bodega you rely on for BECs, and a donut place you go to when it’s been a bad week or you need for your coworkers to like you again. Daily Provisions is all of those things in one establishment - but with extremely high-quality food. This is the mostly standing-room-only cafe operated by Union Square Cafe (which is right next door), and it’s the kind of place you want to write on your hand so that you never forget that it’s an available option for an easy and excellent meal. It’s tiny but extremely well-run, and you should absolutely cross town for the sole purpose of trying their cruller, which is the best donut in New York City." - bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang
