Sufganiyot in the city: Where to get Hanukkah donuts in NYC this year - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
Briefly

"Real sufganiyot are not Dunkin Donuts donuts," said Rafi Shaul, owner of Taste of Israel bakery. He emphasizes that authentic sufganiyot are hand-made, reflecting traditional methods.
Adir Michaeli, owner of Michaeli Bakery, notes, "Israeli donuts are usually pretty light and fluffy in texture," highlighting the importance of using bread flour to create the proper dough.
The history of sufganiyot is debated, with references to Hebrew and Greek origins. Joan Nathan explains in "The Jewish Holiday Kitchen" the cultural significance of these pastries.
Israeli bakeries are known for innovative sufganiyot styles, reportedly selling 20 million during Hanukkah, but NYC bakeries are catching up with unique flavors like dulce de leche.
