Meh, Blackbird is just delicious icing on a mediocre donut. I tried them years ago when they just opened - ended up eating the icing but throwing away the bland tasteless bready base. Gave them another try more recently and hadn’t improved. Union Sq donuts is decent, I’d give it maybe a 7/10. Kane’s is also decent, but too many toppings - I want a donut not a candy bar on top of fried dough.

My platonic ideal of a perfect donut is a freshly made apple cider donut still hot, and rolled in cinnamon sugar. Some of the apple orchards have these, but they can be hit or miss.
