This weekend I drove through a bit of Pennsylvania and upon crossing the state line, I stated thinking about German pretzels. Hmm... I don't know that this has ever happened before, but it did and that is how I knew I probably needed to fulfill a craving (some cravings are silly, this one, I took very seriously).
Perhaps I was primed by the fact that when my brother was visiting last weekend, I finally noticed (good thing!) the pretzel shop around the corner from my apartment (literally, around the corner. Right around). Sigmund Pretzel Shop.

Really, really, really good... I'm not hating on street vendor pretzels, but the pretzels at Sigmunds are the real deal and definitely worth the trip (if it's not around the corner from you), the price ($3.50 per pretzel) and the carb overload.*Each pretzel comes with a free dip of your choice, and they have a lot of choices:

They have pretzel sandwiches which are also divine. Fortunately, I have an adventurous and lovely roommate that likes to try new things with me. We do a lot of splitting of things to maximize tasting and stomach space.
