EAST VILLAGE — The Brindle Room will now serve pour-over coffee and donuts weekdays starting at 8AM, and on the weekends starting at 11AM. They're calling the operation "Wonder City Donuts and Coffee," the donut recipe uses mashed potatoes as an homage to an old chain called Spudnuts. [Grub Street]
