My City Finds: NYC Pretzels

-



There are a few things that I heart about NYC. Actually - there are many things about NYC that I heart and that I miss every time I'm away from the city...
Street nuts - is one of them...NYC pretzels - the REAL ones - the New York pretzels - is the other one! I don't eat them very often, because of all the "things" we - women should do to be able to fit in that one size that we find in samples sales.

Remember when you were a kid - you could eat anything and not worry about having a butterly pastry with a glass of a whole milk or a meat-potato dish with all the sauce from the meat fat and juices and still being able to fit in those jeans? Well, unfortunately with the majority of the women - [and must add - men too] - the rate of the metabolism changes after the age of 25-30 or so...No more of heavy late night snacks...But, when you really, really, really want - go for a NYC pretzel. Those carts - [or the yummy smell of freshly baked pretzels with all the good stuff in it and on top of it] - are a must to stop by...

Besides, take it as the European women - eat a bit, but often. Have it all, no restrictions - but a piece of it...And just enjoy your life, it's too short to say 'NO' to yourself all the time... Profites de la vie!


 P.S. And if you are not a New Yorker - [who, kind of, already figured out those things by now] - and you are questioning the hygiene of those "street delicatessens", then here is a great article about it in New York magazine. I guess you weren't the only one with a question! :)

  It's been my fifth year in a row spending Christmas in College Station, Texas - a town that I would have never thought I'd end up going to more than I do to any other places in the world. [How many times I wished my parents settled in places like Paris, London, Florence, Split, Berlin, or at least - in San Francisco and/or Washington, DC - the places that I'd be more than happy to visit them at more often!] So, it's a true battle when the holidays or vacation times come - to go visit my parents in Texas or to go to Paris, Amsterdam or Tokyo - or places I've never visited before? - a battle that I often loose in favor of my parents, and, thus - in favor of the little Texan town, College Station...

The spring is almost here, which means - soon-to-be-packed and stored away winter boots are in much need to be replaced with the next sexy-thing on the shoe markets. And not just replaced with any shoes, but with the shoes that make a statement. That is - a  big city kind of statement. These should be the ultimate shoes for both a stylish day and night out on a city. Here's what I call statement shoes perfect for many reasons, including for the reasons appreciate a good piece of art, nature and sexiness in the details:
