the first time i went to the lovely beyond lovely and delicious beyond delicious sigmund pretzel shop on the lower east side, they gave toni and me a free serving of hot, WONDERFUL russian cherry tea goodness. (perfect for the 5 degree weather outside.)tonight, as friend stephanie and i were shooed out at their closing time, they bestowed each of us a heaping bountiful bag of a dozen pretzels each, of all varieties, with the only request to tell our friends about their little shop. [12 free delicious gourmet pretzels!?!! does life get better!!?! (methinks no.)]
i tell you, this place is DELIGHTFUL. and their pretzels... oh their pretzels! they'll hold me over quite nicely 'til april in the fatherland, i do declare. the shop opened just a few weeks ago, and i'm crossing all fingers that they survive. they're kind and generous and the goods cannot be beat in taste and delectability.
so. i know 95% of my readership is not in new york city. however, should you ever visit - say a resounding no to the cardboard "pretzels" littering the city's street carts - head to sigmund's instead! and stay till closing! you and all the homeless people on your journey home will be very thankful :)
(neal - you would LOVE them.)
(and p.s. a really great, concise article on how to help haiti here. please do read it - it said much of what i've been thinking, but more eloquently. let's not make any of this worse by our misinformed goodwill. this is also another good one.)

The pretzels are delicious I;m sure. Don't think I will get to NY though.
Love you and know you can't wait to get to Germany and Toni.
