Soup Nazi

I've found this great place across the street on 8th Avenue called Hale and Hearty. It's a soup/salad/sandwich joint. Newfangled and shiny and fantastic. Amazing, filling soups and terrific sandwiches and wraps. It's seems to be shaping up as my every day thing.

Which got me thinking about soup. I always had it in my head that somewhere in the neighborhood is the actual soup place on which SEINFELD's famous "soup Nazi" was based. So I took to the interwebs and found out.

It's right next door.


Yeah, it's literally right next to where I work, here on 55th Street. For now, it's closed and a notice in the window suggests that owner/character Ali Yeganeh is now in Argentina for the Summer. Will he be back? Or will it be "No soup for you!"

The Soup Man has been closed for close to two years, at least. I walked past it every morning on my way to work for 14 months, boarded up each time.
