A Winter treat to warm the senses
Last weekend I got an urge to check out the Bryant Park Holiday Market and Ice Skating Rink to get in the holiday spirit. People were shopping, skating, sipping hot chocolate and enjoying the scenery as was I (except for the skating part!) There were rows and rows of holiday gift booths selling jewelry, arts and crafts, candies, food and other goodies. Lights, skaters, enormous christmas tree, holiday music, crowds of shoppers and tourists – a typical holiday scene at a popular main attraction in New York City.
While I was strolling through the maze of shops, I stumbled upon the most delicious handmade pretzels I’ve had in a long time. I couldn’t help but notice the long line wrapped around the booths (along with the taunting smell of warm hot pretzels and butter) and discovered Sigmund Pretzel Shop, artisanal pretzel shop and cafe located in the East Village in NYC.
They had an adorable tiny booth decked out with delicious hot, soft, fresh baked pretzels in a variety of flavors: mini truffle cheddar, feta and olive, and mini garlic parsley, and their traditional mini and large size original pretzel salted with butter. I ordered the mini truffle cheddar and took a bite of the warm, fat, crusty pretzel covered in melted cheddar and truffle butter, watched the skaters go by and went to heaven. I love Christmas in New York. There’s nothing else like it on earth!
