How to save 50 cents on a pretzel

Metropolitan Diary - New York Times

Dear Diary:

On my way to the theater in Times Square, I stopped at a hot dog vendor’s cart. How much for a pretzel? I asked the vendor.

“Two dollars,” he replied.

“Two dollars! Do I look like a tourist?” I joked.

“Two dollars,” he repeated.

Somewhat reluctantly, I counted out two singles and handed them to him.

“Where are you from?” he asked.

“The Upper East Side,” I said.

The vendor gave me a pretzel and a conspiratorial smile, and pressed two quarters into my hand. Marlene Shyer
