Doughnut Glazing Meets Skyline Views
Manhattan doughnuts and skyline views: watch the glazing line at a working bakery, then take the sweetness up to a rooftop bar.
Both Manhattan Stops on the Map
A Manhattan Bakery Where Doughnut Glazing Is the Show
At 1601 Broadway, Krispy Kreme New York places its glazing operation in full view, turning a doughnut stop into a Times Square spectacle. Warm rings pass beneath cascading glaze before reaching the counter, and the daily hotlight runs from 8:00 AM to 2:00 AM. Original glazed doughnuts come individually or in boxes of three, six, or a dozen. Coffee and drinks round out the order, while theater-district crowds can gather during busy periods.
Skyline Views From a Manhattan Rooftop Bar
cloudM New York Times Square sits atop the citizenM at 218 W 50th St, pairing near-360-degree city panoramas with music and cocktails, beer, and wine. Guests can move between the outdoor terrace and decorated interior when temperatures drop. The bar opens daily at 4:00 PM and closes at midnight. A downstairs bar offers another option. For a late visit, last call is 11:30 PM, a useful cutoff to keep in mind.
From Glazing Line to Rooftop Railing
These two Times Square stops split the neighborhood’s appeal between spectacle and elevation. Krispy Kreme New York puts a visible doughnut production line at the center, with warm original glazed doughnuts, coffee, and hotlight hours. cloudM New York Times Square shifts attention upward, pairing cocktails, beer, and wine with indoor seating and an outdoor terrace above citizenM. One centers on watching food being made, while the other emphasizes skyline views and rooftop drinks. Together, they contrast a street-level bakery with a rooftop bar.
