The Original Soup Man is a chain of soup restaurants run by Ali “Al” Yeganeh, modeled after Yeganeh’s original restaurant Soup Kitchen International, which was a well-known soup restaurant at 259-A West 55th Street (between Broadway and 8th Avenue), in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.[1]

The 55th Street location was closed in 2004, with the windows soaped over. Yeganeh, however, kept the lease on the shop while he looked to expand into a broader market. This led to the formation of the Original Soup Man chain and eventually led to the reopening of Soup Kitchen International, which now bears the name “Original Soup Man” like all of Yeganeh’s other restaurants.

Or try a rickshaw ride. It's the romance of the hansom cab without the guilt or dander of the equine.

I had heard the “no soup for you” guy had gone out of business, glad to hear he reopened.
