Winchell's does not appeal to Starbucks snobs who choose to dissect any little thing that gets between them and their $8.00 latte enemas. Just good doughnuts, plain and simple.
Yes it is connected with a Subway.... well.... WHO CARES! Two great spots together, not that's American! So, if you need some good doughnuts in a convenient location then this place fits the bill.
If you are a robotic Starbucks snob who needs an outlet to plug in your life blood and rub shoulders with other liberals reading the "I'm so esoteric" section of the NY Times then this place will not be up your alley. Just goosestep over to your soul's purpose: $8.00 tar sold as coffee and an outlet and internet access so you can get back to your online "real life."
