The hunt for New York's most authentic pretzel

The earliest depictions of the pretzel date back hundreds of years to the German-speaking regions of Europe. In the 17th and 18th Century, German immigrants brought the recipe to the United States. Today, BBC journalist Manuel Scheuernstuhl goes on the hunt for a truly authentic pretzel, like the ones he knows from home, in New York.
