"Randy's Donuts, the Los Angeles icon with the enormous rooftop ring you've seen in movies, TV and approximately a thousand Instagram posts, is finally touching down in NYC. The brand's first East Coast shop opens in early December at 185 Bleecker Street, right on the corner of MacDougal in Greenwich Village, bringing a little West Coast sweetness to a neighborhood more associated with falafel, late-night students and decades of Village grit."
"Founded in 1952, Randy's became famous for the Inglewood flagship crowned by its giant doughnut-a piece of pop architecture that's basically a billboard in pastry form. The original began as part of Big Donut, a quirky drive-in chain built around spectacle. Ownership shifted over the years (attorney Mark Kelegian took the helm in 2015), but the appeal stayed the same: oversized, fluffy doughnuts made with decades-old recipes and a breezy Angeleno sensibility."
"New York's outpost will launch with more than 35 varieties, running the gamut from "classic" glazed raised, chocolate raised and sugar raised to "deluxe" old-fashioneds and Long Johns, plus "fancy" cinnamon rolls, jelly-filled numbers and apple fritters. There's also a "premium" tier starring Texas glazed, Nutella raised and a s'mores raised that feels engineered for finals-week comfort. And yes, Randy's Rounds-the oversized doughnut holes-are coming too, along with a full lineup of coffee drinks."
Randy's Donuts will open its first East Coast location at 185 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village in early December. Founded in 1952, Randy's became famous for its Inglewood flagship crowned by a giant rooftop doughnut that functions as pop architecture. The original began as part of Big Donut, a drive-in chain built around spectacle, and ownership shifted over the years, with attorney Mark Kelegian taking the helm in 2015. The brand is known for oversized, fluffy doughnuts made with decades-old recipes and an Angeleno sensibility. The chain now spans Southern California, Las Vegas, Phoenix and international cities from Seoul to Riyadh. The New York shop will offer more than 35 varieties across classic, deluxe, fancy and premium tiers, plus Randy's Rounds and a full coffee lineup, arriving amid intense NYC dessert competition.
