[NewMusic] North by Northwest

[Tim DuRoche]

Voodoo Doughnut!  All traveling improvisers should know this place.  Actually that nexus near the Tugboat is great for cheap food--El Grillo, Mexican joint next to Tug; the ring of food carts on 5th Ave. (a veritable globalism of cuisines: Czech Schnitzelwich, Tennessee BBQ, African, Polish, Thai, Greek, Croatian meat pies, Peruvian, Puerto Rican).  

But Voodoo is in a class by itself:

 Not only can you buy doughnuts, by the  "coffin full" if you want . . you can also take Swahili classes there and they're open 24 hours.  Favorites from their menu include:

 Neapolitan 
 (chocoalte doughnut with vanilla frosting and strawberry quick powder)
  Triple Chocolate Penetration
 (chocolate doughnut, chocolate glaze, and cocoa-puffs)
   
Dirty Snowball
  (chocolate cake doughnut covered with pink marshmallow glaze and surprise filling)
   Apple Fritter
 (apple/glaze/doughnut as big as your head)
   

  Cock-n-Balls
 (Bachlorette party favorite, tripple cream filled, with your favorite saying written right on it. Comes in its own pink box. $4.95 Order ahead as supplies can be limited.)
  Nyquil Glazed and pepto-bismol (currently on hold)
   VEGAN
 (thats right, vegan doughnuts! assorted flavors, come in and eat many)

I have always liked playing there, though. It has a good feeling and 
the beer and food are solid.
 

PG:
I can't vouch for the beer, but Damon's right about the food. And that
awesome all night donut shop is within quick walking distance (they have
420 donuts there and have live shows - mostly solo or duo - that's where
I want to play solo next time I'm up there - you play on a platform
above the donut carousel !!!).
