It’s officially summer! It’s also #NationalDonutDay. I feel like I’ve been seeing a lot of fancy donuts lately, which makes me think that Donuts are the new Cupcake. My fave donut? Dark chocolate glazed donut at Underwest Donuts – it’s actually located in a CAR WASH on the West Side Highway. So cray.
Anyway – see all the places to get free donuts, and more this weekend:
