The catch? You have to buy a dozen donuts first.

We need all the dopamine we can get.

Go tour all of the area’s best donut shops by bike. All four of them.

“Donuts… is there anything they can’t do?”

Regardless of whether you’re upset that the corner of 14th and U has turned into a mini-7th and H Streets of sorts or not, free coffee is free coffee. This morning, the new Dunkin’ Donuts at 2001 14th Street NW is open for the first time. To mark the occasion, they’re giving out free medium coffees.

Want to show your gratitude to the garbage collector who had to pick up the remnants of your last house party with a modest gift card? Yeah, don’t.

That’s right — it’s the first Friday in June, so it’s time to celebrate the donut (or doughnut, if you prefer).

Photo by nevermindtheend Channel your inner Homer Simpson tomorrow. Friday is National Donut Day. Mmmm … donuts. Krispy Kreme will be giving out free donuts, while Dunkin’ Donuts will be giving out free donuts with beverage purchase. Interestingly enough, National Donut Day is not just some food industry creation. Rather, it started as a fundraising event created by the Salvation Army that celebrated the women who gave out donuts to soldiers during World War…

Someday, I’ll go back to school for industrial engineering so that I can design new food conveyor systems. These machines, in all their robotic food preparation and packaging spelndor, obviate the need for human labor. All that AND they can glaze Kevin H.’s Krispy Kremes! EXIF.

Photo by Samer Farha Tomorrow is National Donut Day. To celebrate, Krispy Kreme will be giving away free donuts. And so will Dunkin’ Donuts, with the purchase of any beverage. I, personally, am partial to the non-glazed varieties from Dunkin’ Donuts, not to mention that unfortunate gross out lawsuit of Krispy Kreme’s recently. But be aware of both promotions for tomorrow, depending on where your fried dough allegiances lie….
