Happy 2024! New year, new soups in my life…read more I've been hearing rumors about the Soup Spot for months, so I finally went this week. I can confirm that they're real and they're SPECTACULAR. Got a cup of their turkey chili (and added hot sauce to it) and a cup of chicken noodle, and I'll be back for more. If you're not a soup fiend[1], obviously the above is hyperbole. But don't worry, the Soup Spot also has a lunch menu full of non-soup options[2]. Find the Soup Spot next to Tracks (Raw Bar & Grille). Fast service, no seating, credit accepted. [1] It happens. [2] But why would you go to a soup place and not get soup?

I stopped at Fresh & Co on 7th Ave for a quick grab and go before heading to the LIRR. It's…read morewalking distance from Madison Square Garden and Penn Station. I've had almost everything on the menu. Although the food is decent and a healthy option for the prices are high, especially the salads. My top three favorites are the Lemon Herb Chicken, Chicken Sharma and lastly the steak. My favorite sides are Mac & Cheese and Sweet Potatoes. Lately, I have been doing the half sandwich and soup for $12.99 since it is considerably more reasonable priced. Smoothies are 50% during happy hour. I realized that timing is everything, despite the closing time the pans are finished for the day so may not get what you came there for. The staff is friendly and offers more than one sauce on the side. Seating is limited.

Ok so to be fair I'm a little annoyed when I'm writing this because their app is so bad and I…read moreaccidentally ordered two of the same bowls at the exact same time because the app glitched. It's an incredibly janky app. If it weren't for the app I would have given it 3 stars but again I'm moody and got ripped off due to a stupid developer issue. Onto the real stuff: pickup was NOT smooth, I waited for about 5 minutes next to the pickup shelf before an employee told me they don't put anything there and I would just need to give my name. Ok.........then why have a pickup shelf? I had a bowl with quinoa, chicken, broccoli, and mac and cheese. Nothing had flavor. Like I'm not kidding they really did not season anything. I got some stupid sauce on the side and it did little to improve the situation. The chicken was cooked well, moist, and it was a generous portion and for that I am being nice with a 2* rating, but I could still do better with some salt and pepper in the oven if I weren't so g*dd*mn lazy. Anyway screw this place there are too many fast casual spots around here to settle for mediocrity

Like I loved everything. The salmon was spectacular and packed w flavor, so juicy. The Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes were insane too, esp the Brussels sprouts. Thought the noodles would lack flavor but somehow it had a ton of flavor?? Also SO filling, could def be two meals. Only con is it's a TAD bit too oily, but like barely. Would buy w/ my own money

I didn't taste any chili on the tofu, but it had nice firm, bouncy texture. For sides, I got the charred broccoli and roasted corn and edamame. The broccoli was tasty, but a little overcooked. The corn and edamame were very flavorful. For my base, I got the sweet potato noodles. These were delicious and you couldn't tell that they weren't made of wheat. Very satisfying overall, though it was a touch too oily. My husband got the chili koji chicken bowl and was pleased with it too. Great option for lunch!

Following their recent heart-stopping announcement that they'd be closing--due to rent, natch--I…read morepromised myself to visit them as soon as they said they'd reached an agreement with the LL after all. (Whew!) Mee is a good ol' neighborhood--family-owned--Cantonese place, and I had their tofu with brown sauce, white rice on the side. Pot of tea on the side; this is a critical detail you don't always get at a local Chinese restaurant. I've been going here for years, and they've moved to their current space from less than a block away. Because it was mid-afternoon, there weren't a lot of people in there; I imagine they have a dinner rush, and I told the server I'd see him soon. I meant it!

They've instituted a delivery fee as of a month ago (and of course expect you tip as well). We ordered directly from them so I guess they just want a few more dollars. We got two spam risk calls unexpectedly. Against our better judgement we answered the second time, where we attempted to speak to someone whose phone was 90% muffled and had legit communication issues. I believe they didn't give their deliverer our apt number - but I'm guessing. I called them, and they said the guy left it in the lobby and said they didn't know what to do about it. The woman on the phone said she'd speak to her manager and they would call me back. She never did. The order had been taken from the lobby when we went to look. Update: I had to call THEM back but they did agree to refund the cost. We'll see if that happens.

I stopped by at lunch one day and tried the Fuso sandwich here and was a bit dissapointed. I'm a big fan of pesto on sandwiches but this one had some fruity jam on it that kind of ruined it. It made the bread soggy and was overpowering every other ingredient in the sandwich. For the price point, I don't think this was worth it given all of the other great food options in the area.

The olive oil cake was pretty good, definitely moist and a bit of brightness from the lemon but more sweet forward. Got a breakfast sandwich which was on the heavier side, moreso than expected and had quite some richness but it was still yummy and the bread was really good quality and fluffy too, definitely not stale. The eggs were fluffy. I wish I had come on a weekend so I could just have a little coffee and veg out after haha. There were some outdoor chairs, you can actually order ahead and people were pretty nice inside but we were there just briefly. Definitely check this place out as it is from the same team as L'artusi. It's also in a quiet part of west village worth exploring a bit.

I'm a lower middle-class Jersey guy - what the heck do I know about cocktails?  But I dove right into one ("Jade Collins") and it was firing on all cylinders.  Crisp, clean, strong enough to knock over an ox. Then we got a handful of apps - everyone else swore by all the ones they'd had - but I just tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and... sweet baby Jesus, this little plate had a wicked amount of flavor from every angle.  "Aggressively seasoned" might be an understatement.  Wild. Onto the mains and I ventured towards their Spicy Drunken Noodle (my go-to whenever I'm hitting a Thai restaurant on my home turf) and... yeah, you probably guessed it - incredible. Not the biggest portion but they made every single component sing with flavor. With so much going on - of course I needed to indulge with another drink (hey, I wasn't driving!). There were six of us, it came to about $100 a person... welcome to NYC. But we did get a wide selection of plates/food and those two drinks accounted for about $40 of my tab. (And you'll never see such a heavy wine pour at a restaurant... they filled the glass almost to the rim - which was not even something I'd do for myself when I'm home.) Definitely recommended.

The wings are what made me come back and they will get me as a returning customer again! The seating is comfortable; choice of chair or cushioned bench. Very cozy!
