April 26
Today in fake food holidays, it's National Pretzel Day. Snyder's of Hanover even sent the City Paper staff a huge box of its pretzels just to mark the occasion. Thanks, Snyder's! Pretzels are a pretty solid, functional snack, nice and salty without packing in a ton of calories, but as "Seinfeld" once famously noted, they make you thirsty. And that's why, if you choose to celebrate this high holy day of snacking, I recommend you head down to Federal Hill for a meal that pairs a pretzel with its good and flavorful buddy, beer. Das Bier Haus is serving up six different kinds of pretzels, each paired with a beer from Devil's Back Bone. So right when you're feeling parched, there's a cold brew to quench your thirst. Doesn't get better than that on National Pretzel Day. Be sure to email DBHevents@gmail.com to get tickets for one of the two seatings. 6 p.m. or 8 p.m., Das Bier Haus, 1542 Light St., (443) 708-8854, dasbierhaus21230.com, $30.
