Folks, yesterday after taking the real Kramer's "Reality Tour" of NYC, my family and I walked over to the Soup Guy.

Let me tell you, all the hype about his soup is NOT JUST HYPE. The soup is INCREDIBLE.

I feel sorry for the guy, though. Several times during our wait, cars pulled over in front of his place, and people screamed out "NAZI". The guy really isn't a nazi at all. In fact he seemed very nice to us.

As far as paying extra for bread, I think that's just a Seinfeld joke. Not only did each of us get a large chunk of crusty French whole wheat bread, we got a large selection of excellent fresh fruit, and some yogurt to dip it in. Even got a piece of chocolate with each order.

My order was seafood bisque. Without a doubt the best I ever tasted. Big chunks of lobster. Loads of shrimp, scallops, and mussels. Everything tender, not overcooked. And a wonderful broth of fresh herbs. Mmmm

The guy obviously cares a lot about his work. If more of us had this attitude we could do some truly amazing things.

Well worth a visit when visiting the Big Apple!

I could just about kick myself. I went back to NYC last weekend, rather short notice, and completely forgot about looking up "The Soup Guy". Do you recall the exact name of his restaurant and where it is located?

Also, how much/long was the tour?

Thanks,

He's on West 55th near 8th Avenue, called "Soup Kitchen International".

Kramer's tour costs about $40, takes about 3 hours. It is VERY entertaining and includes a really good (but unusual) lunch.
