Farewell, Auntie Anne. I Will Miss Your Free Pretzel Samples...

The other day I was running some errands on the Rock Center Center concourse and I noticed a familiar light was out. Auntie Anne's may have over 1000 locations worldwide, but they don't have one in Rock Center anymore...

I must admit that every once and awhile, I'd grab a cinnamon and sugar pretzel. There was something oddly compelling about those butter soaked, cinnamon covered sugar bombs. If you're an Auntie Anne's fan, they still have a few Manhattan locations including branches at Macy's, Penn Station, Port Authority, and LaGuardia. Or there's always the Staten Island Mall...
