🍲 Soup With the Extras

The Original Soup Kitchen turns a stretch of West 55th Street into a stop for hot soup to take away. This Manhattan walk up inspired a Seinfeld episode, though the menu gives you plenty to think about beyond sitcom history. Lobster bisque comes packed with vegetables and seafood, alongside clam chowder and beef chili.

Orders include fresh bread, fruit and a chocolate, a little trio that makes the meal feel complete before you leave the counter. Lobster rolls are available too. The ordering process runs with strict efficiency, keeping the line moving when colder weather brings people out for something hot and well seasoned.

Find the shop at 259A West 55th Street, with online ordering and delivery available as alternatives to the walk up. It opens Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 8 PM and Sunday from 11 AM to 7 PM.
