The Original Soupman

My favourite branch of The Original SoupMan in New York is this one!

Being a fan of Seinfeld and with my first trip to New York coming up this was a no brainer.. I had to try it. I have to say I was not disappointed. Very good soup for an excellent value.

The lobster bisque was good. Definitely worth the visit if you are in the area.
