Ugly Donuts & Corn Dogs - Bushwick 7.6
Bushwick (West)
Vibes: Cheap Eats Budget Brilliance Quick Bites Champions Instagram Worthy Wonders Sweet Treats Escapes
A made-to-order Korean street-food stop where the fun is in the customization: hot, cheese-pulling corn dogs and chewy fried donuts that lean snackable and shareable. It works best as a quick hit when you commit to one corn dog build and one sweet finish.
Must-Try Dishes: Mozzarella Korean Corn Dog, Ugly Spicy Corn Dog (buldak sauce with seaweed bites), Nutella Strawberry Donut
