Happy National Doughnut Day! What this means for you is, of course, free donuts—and Consumerist points out that free donuts are non-caloric and guilt free. Ah, sweet little lies. It's too bad the Doughnut Plant doesn't seem to be participating in today's events, but there are two ways to get your free fix. Head to the one surviving Krispy Kreme at 2 Penn Plaza and you will get a free donut with no purchase necessary, barring any Kentucky Fried riots. Since business isn't doing so well, however, you may want to get a little something extra while you're there. Meanwhile, over at one of the many Dunkin' Donuts in the city (where they announced a new Toffee donut today) you can get a free donut with the purchase of any beverage.
