THEN (1984)

At that time, I worked a few blocks away and often stood on that line, cash in hand, to purchase soup. It was indeed the best.


NOW

Soups are also available at select supermarkets ... no need to stand in line.

It wasn’t all that good ..... and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overpriced. We had to try ...we did ....an were not that impressed.

There are too many good food places in NYC to eat, rather than wait in that hideous line. IMO.

I remember trying it a few times myself. The soup was indeed, very good. But what impressed me was the “packaging”. I remember the soup being accompanied by a nice piece of warm crusty bread, and a fancy piece of gourmet chocolate, all placed in a really nice high quality little shopping bag. Very unusual for “takeout”.
