  • The Original Soup Kitchen (the OG Soup Nazi place) has a jambalaya that’s gotten me through many nights when I lived by there. It’s good

  • replying to u/toocacked: Hello! Thanks for commenting. I’m happy to get smacked in the face with reality, but it doesn’t seem unrealistically ambitious to me. We’ll be in bed early each night and up early each day. Most important thing is a food trip for stuff that nyc does best, with some personal preferences sprinkled in(see win son). I’m going to be splitting everything with my partner, we’ll be walking a lot, not a lot of sit down restaurants so just small bites. No real budget. I mean I don’t plan on spending a ridiculous amount unless I alter the plan majorly. We have rosella reservation @ 5 on day 3 and broadway tickets at 7, besides that and top of the rock, and a Times Square (quick) walk through, no real tourist-y stuff. I know Katz can have a big line, and Russ & daughters on Sunday morning might have a big line, but I don’t expect to wait in line for much of any other place. Could be totally wrong though.

    I do love the lobster roll and bisque at the original soup kitchen on 55th.

  • replying to u/FrankiePoops: Honestly, the soup nazi on 55th and 8th is pretty solid. Also has great lobster rolls for less than most places.

    It’s good!!!

  • For budget but good? The Soup Nazi. But he's warm with butter instead of cold with Mayo.

  • As for chicken soup, these are some comforting options I would recommend in NYC: **Soup Spot** (Midtown), **Veselka** (East Village), **Non La** (East Village), **Katz’s Deli** (Lower East Side), and **The Original Soup Kitchen** (Midtown).

  • replying to u/FrankiePoops: This is the reincarnation of Hale & Hearty. Same owners. When did the Soup Man go down in quality? Haven't been since the summer but he was still good at that point.

    the one I went to is now not known as Soup Man, but as Original Soup Kitchen. 8/55. I went last fall and it was pretty awful.

  • replying to u/Choice-Bell-4686: The Original Soup Kitchen, it's technically not UWS but is right below the park; they deliver last time I checked!

    highly recommend this place nonetheless

  • replying to u/Bulawayoland: I never did go to H&H, so I cannot speak to a comparison. Re Soup Man, I may be confused. I thought I went to the right location, but the one I went to is now not known as Soup Man, but as Original Soup Kitchen. 8/55. I went last fall and it was pretty awful. Sorry!

    They've always been pretty good when I went
