Get Your First Cow "Oily Cakes" at Union Square Donuts

Get the complete First Cow experience by visiting Union Square Donuts for some modern "oily cakes"!

In Kelly Reichardt's exquisite Old West tale, two men on the 1820s Oregon frontier (John Magaro and Orion Lee) steal milk from the titular cow to make and sell "oily cakes," balls of dough deep fried in animal lard. For those hungry after the movie, you could make your own at home—or just head right down the street to Union Square Donuts for a modern take on the "oily cake." Present your Coolidge ticket stub for First Cow, and you can get a dozen donut holes for just $2.50!
