The Original SoupMan

About

Established in 1984. In 1984 we opened our doors at 55th Street & 8th Avenue in NYC and quickly became a worldwide destination serving incredibly delicious and unique soups & Lobster Roll sandwiches. Rated #1 by Zagat and praised by the New York Times as "Art, not Soup," we set the standard for culinary excellence long before the famous "Seinfeld" episode made us a cultural icon.

Lives up to the hype! Clam chowder was hearty and tasty. Bread was delicious and fresh. Especially loved the peach and Lindt chocolate that comes with the soup. Lobster roll is a must try.

Each of four of us in our group choose a different soup and everyone was very pleased with their selection. Regardless of the size container you order (S M L) it will be filled to the brim... So don't open it while it is balanced on your lap. Also this is strictly a takeout place, so don't expect to get seating cuz you won't.

Questions & Answers

I think I remember about a dozen different and I wanted to taste more than one. There was a bread in the bag but not sure what else he offered as I just wanted the soup. Had the buffalo chiken soup it was great. I went because of Seinfeld. Worth it! Wasn't expensive either.

From 11am to 7pm

Nov. 8th, it's open.
