After the grand opening of Donut Run in Takoma DC, white people of Takoma Park, Maryland, decided to courageously venture across the metro tracks into unfamiliar territory – an area home to many Black-owned establishments – to get their hands on some vegan doughnuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t get me wrong, I love ethnic food. Trader Jose’s has some really good frozen enchiladas,” said Mackenzie Wilson. “I was concerned, however, about what kind of chance I was taking by crossing over into DC. But, ultimately, there’s nothing I won’t do for a vegan doughnut.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donut Run made local headlines earlier this week when hundreds of white people from Takoma Park formed lines around the block as if there was a clearance sale at J Crew. As people stood in line with their wallets in their front pockets, they were surprised to see restaurants they never knew existed, like Horace and Dickie’s and Takoma Station Tavern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’ve lived in Takoma Park for years, and I can’t believe I never heard of these places before,” said Wilson. “Now that I’m aware of more eating options just a short walk from my house, I’ll be sure to check if they deliver through DoorDash.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked their thoughts about Maryland residents crossing over to their side of the tracks for the first time, Takoma DC residents were confused. “Based on their yard signs, I always assumed Takoma Park people were much more open-minded,” said Anthony Mitchell, a Takoma DC resident. “Maybe this explains why they still have streets named after Confederates.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
