Nothing quite says late summer or early fall like a delicious hand-crafted doughnut straight out of the fryer.
On a recent trip to Portland, Maine, from Connecticut, I stopped by The Holy Donut, a famous doughnut shop that has been featured on television shows like "Man vs. Food" and gained a reputation for its unique potato-doughnut recipe.
The Holy Donut opened its doors in 2012 as a small business and has since grown into a Maine institution, with five locations across the state. I visited the doughnut shop's Park Avenue location in Portland, the first shop the family-run business opened.
I tried four of The Holy Donut's most popular flavors and saw firsthand why this small business has become one of Portland's best not-so-hidden gems.
If you visit any of The Holy Donut's locations, you must try these doughnut flavors.

Arguably Greece’s most iconic island group, the Cyclades got their name because, if you squint, the 30-odd main islands form a circle, or , around the sacred island of Delos, birthplace of the twin gods Artemis and Apollo. In the southwestern curve of that circle sit Milos, Sifnos and Serifos, three Aegean islands that share a stark, wild beauty owing in part to the minerals that made them mining hubs well into the last century. (Mining continues on Milos, where it vies with tourism as one of the island’s main industries.)
“I tell my friends that I'm now midcentury modern,” the New York–based fashion designer Phillip Lim quips about turning 50. “And like the furniture, hopefully better with age.” Joking aside, Lim, who launched his 3.1 Phillip Lim label in 2005 and now sells his signature clean-lined clothing in shops around the world, saw the landmark birthday as a chance to take stock. “I heard somewhere that, with 50, you get a second dawn. I took that to heart.”

In fact, sailing out of Cape Liberty will bring you face-to-face (OK, face-to-toes) with Lady Liberty when you sail through the harbor.
