Fans of “The Office,” this one’s for you. If you love pretzels as much as we do, every day is Pretzel Day — AKA Stanley Hudson’s favorite day of the year. Naturally, there is only one way to properly celebrate the occasion — with a soft pretzel. Here are a few places around town where you can cure your pretzel hankerings:

Bay Street Biergarten, 549 E. Bay St.
The Pretzel Twister, 2070 Sam Rittenburg Blvd. (Inside the Citadel Mall)
