Singular Sensations: One-Hit Menus
These one-hit wonders need little explanation but hit the spot when a craving comes your way.

Doughnut Plant
There's no dunkin' at this doughnut mecca, but you'll find amazing specialty flavors like Blackout, Valhrona Chocolate, Mango, and Vanilla Bean Glaze just to name a few. High-quality natural ingredients, seasonal fresh fruit and fresh roasted nuts are staples for this latter-day doughnut king (founder Mark Israel).
39 Grand Street at Norfolk Street

Hummus Place
When you think of hummus as a thick, smooth blend of deliciously seasoned pureed chickpeas, served three ways, complimented by pita bread and other tasty vegetarian specialties, you can see why this idea has, um, spread so quickly from its East Village roots.
West Village: 99 Macdougal Street between West 3rd and Bleecker Streets (Multiple Locations)
