Manhattan —
A young man in a baseball cap hurried past Doughnut Plant, a bakery a few blocks from the Manhattan entrance to the Williamsburg Bridge.
“Those doughnuts are the best in the world,” the man crowed to his female companion. “They have pumpkin doughnuts. They have apple cinnamon doughnuts.” His friend looked back over her shoulder in puzzlement.
Inside the store and bakery, at 379 Grand St., a staff of seven produces some 2,000 doughnuts a day in round-the-clock shifts.
