Where to score sweet deals in Brooklyn on National Donut Day

Sweet!

It’s National Donut Day, and Brooklynites with a sweet tooth are in luck. Many of the borough’s beloved bake shops are offering deals on select donuts to mark the occasion, held each year on the first Friday of June. The annual celebration dates back to 1938, when The Salvation Army in Chicago hosted a “National Donut Day” event to honor those of their members who served donuts to soldiers during World War I.

Now, with an estimated 25,000 donut shops across the country making over 10 billion donuts a year, it’s no wonder the do-gooder’s “holiday” stuck.
