UNDERWEST DONUTS

: Patronize the only donut shop located inside a car wash for Underwest Donut's topical new treat: the aptly-named Carwash Donut. Though festively-colored, the team says the flavor reveals a "subdued sweetness for those seeking a more understated glazed treat." The shop also says they'll be debuting an Ice Cream Donut Sandwich soon, good for when steamy weather returns to us. 639 West 47th Street, West Side

And of course, let's not forget the chains, who never miss an opportunity to further promote their brands...

KRISPY KREME: One free donut of any variety, no purchase necessary. 2 Penn Plaza, in Penn Station

DUNKIN DONUTS: One free doughnut of any kind with the purchase of a coffee, with the exception of croissant doughnuts and cheesecake squares. Multiple Locations

TIM HORTONS: One free doughnut to anyone who says "Happy National Doughnut Day" in Canadian at the register. Otherwise no deal. Multiple Locations

ENTENMANN'S: As a partnership with The Salvation Army, the supermarket staple will be giving away 40,000 free doughnuts and coffee from their mobile bakery in Madison Square Park from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. while supplies last. Find them at Madison Square Park (Southwest corner) on 23rd Street between Broadway & Madison Avenue
