    I think I'll be having the Gowanus Donut, thank you.

    (Looks almost suitable for dunking, perhaps in the appropriately toxic nearby canal?)

    Tom,
    I think "donut" is the technical term for this piece of apparatus that holds down the orange and white barrel-shaped lane dividers they use these days. Guardrails provide a convenient storage space and display case. But no powdered sugar!

    Well, sugar is bad for you anyway. But then, so are donuts. Rainbows maybe, not so much.

    (I suppose I saw tire as donut because I was thinking about those
    mysterious unidentified orange coils; if you punched the middles out of those, you might get donuts... or, of course, and far more likely, electrocuted.)
