I'm in a Doughnut State of Mind
Why in the world did I skip going into the office that day?
Cookshop usually has some nice donuts made from scratch in the mornings on weekends. You can skip the big brunch and just order a couple of those and some coffee. I've seen chocolate chip there, and jelly. They tend to run out before the late brunch crowd even gets there.
But the best donut I had recently was a cinnamon donut from a farm stand on Sound Ave out on the North Fork... Fifty cents. Just made.
It's probably a good thing we're in a donut dark age here in NYC. If we ever get ready access to great donuts, we're doomed.
The Best Bagel in New York City
Forget it! Get a zipcar or something and drive all the way out to Hot Bagels, on Montauk Highway in Sayville, Long Island. Then, since you're stuck way out there already, go hang out on the beach for the rest of the morning, then get a beer and some steamers at the Cull House and forget about the city for a while.
Top 5 Neighborhood Italian Restaurant Contenders
Le Zie and Sette in Chelsea are both worth a visit, and I like Supper in the East Village.

Assuming that you may have readers in places other than NYC, I love the apple turnovers -- and other pastries -- from Patisserie Poupon in Baltimore, Md (and Georgetown, D.C.). They also sell them at Tryst, the D.C. coffeeshop that was blogger central on CNN during the election coverage last night.
Their apple danish (though it seems wrong to call it a danish with all the things that usually implies) are the best pastries I've had in any city, including Paris (where I was vaguely disappointed) and I miss them badly here in NY. Ceci-Cela's and Balthazar's are close, but don't really measure up.
