Years in Philly: solidly on till I was 18, now fleetingly (and usually in the wee hours)

My love note: Center City Pretzels is where a piece of my childhood was baked. They’re only open from midnight–noon, the pretzels you buy are literally coming right off the conveyor belt (its a factory) for maximum heat and goodness, and they’re just 35 cents. Perfect for the wee hours of the night or morning.
yummy yummy yummy. no one does soft pretzels like this.
See, this is why I can’t eat soft pretzels outside Philly, either.
