New England clam chowder
John J.

I was in the mood for soup today and found this place here on yelp. I certainly wasn't disappointed. NE clam chowder was delicious and filling when lorded with the fresh baguette that came with it. The young lady in the kiosk was very friendly with all smiles considering the cold weather she was working In. I'd drop in again and try something else if I'm in the area someday.

Beef chili with cheese and rice.

I love this soup kiosk! I tried the beef chili with rice and cheese. It was fantastic! The beans, beef and chili soup was well seasoned and super savory. If you're looking for something a bit spicy, this definitely isn't a spicy chili. However, they have tobacco sauce right on the counter if you'd like to add a little extra. For $10 I got a large soup with rice cheese and bread cost $8.50. I gave the remaining $1.50 for tip. Again super tasty and a bargain lunch that really fills you.

The soup is in that little shack with the ivy growing on it

This place is kinda easy to miss. It's sort of diagonally across from the food stand that sells breakfast fare (donuts and such), in a dark shack that's attached to the building adjacent. I had a very hard time deciding on which soup to get, but the woman who worked here was extremely kind and willing to give me samples of the different options. The beef chili was... SO good. I tried the veg chili after, but really just for kicks - I had already decided. You can get cheese on top, and rice on the bottom, if you like. It comes with a fantastic little smidgen of bread. Next time I'll pony up the 50 cents for an extra piece. I can't wait to go back and try the other soups! The price was right. In this area it's hard to find something this tasty for under $10. It's cash only so hit up an ATM beforehand if necessary.

Chicken veg soup is always on fleek. $6 for a large.

A Soho staple! $6 for a large ($5 for a small) fresh, piping hot soup and a large chunk of fresh baguette will leave anyone happy. The line runs long during the cold and rainy days but it moves fast. I typically do a chicken & veg soup or half&half veggie/beef chili (my own creation for less calories and optimal deliciousness). You can sample anything and they also have sandwiches. There are 2 rotating soup ladies. It's possible they could be sisters, but they're both very efficient and sweet.

Very good and fresh. For $6.00 I had a huge bowl of homemade chicken soup and a delicious roll. Can't beat this in winter!

RICE BALLS ARE LIFE…read more I divert myself to Grand Central Station instead of Penn, just so I can take the walk to get rice balls. Every time. Best food going on in midtown.

Omusubi Gonbei is a small Japanese counter inside Katagiri Market in Midtown East that specializes…read morein freshly made onigiri filled with a wide variety of traditional ingredients. The setup is simple and geared toward grab-and-go meals, making it an easy stop when I want something quick that still feels fresh and satisfying. The smell of warm rice and toasted nori immediately gives the counter an authentic, comforting feel. The onigiri were the highlight of my visit. Made with high-quality Japanese rice and wrapped in crisp seaweed, each rice ball was generously filled and held together perfectly without being overly packed. I especially enjoyed the salmon and spicy tuna, though there are plenty of other options like mentaiko, braised pork belly, umeboshi, and pickled mustard greens. The balance between the seasoned rice and flavorful fillings made each one simple yet incredibly satisfying. Beyond the onigiri, the menu includes a few classic sides that make it easy to turn a snack into a full meal. A bowl of miso soup or an order of karaage pairs well with the rice balls, and grabbing a bottle of green tea completes a light but filling lunch. I also appreciated how easy it was to mix and match a few different flavors to try more than one filling in a single visit. The service was quick and efficient, with the staff keeping everything moving even during a busy lunch rush. Since it is located inside Katagiri Market, seating is very limited, so it works best as a takeout stop before heading back to work or finding a nearby place to sit. Overall, Omusubi Gonbei is an excellent place for a quick and authentic Japanese meal in Midtown East. The fresh rice, generous fillings, and simple, comforting flavors make it a spot I would happily return to whenever I am craving a satisfying grab-and-go lunch.

I honestly could've scarfed down like 3 of these in one meal, but I came here for a late night dinner snack haha. 9/10 Papaya Drink - This is clearly what the hot dog spot is named after, right? So of course we had to get it! It had a very thick consistency, but it was still yummy and not overly sweet. 10/10 Orange Drink - I loved this drink out of the 2 we tried, and this one was fireeeeeeee! It's basically a spin on an orange juice drink, but in my opinion, it's way better!

St. and Amsterdam Ave! This location is most famous for its recession special: two frankfurters and one tropical drink (not pictured). The dog by itself is on the bland side, but the dog is nirvana once you slap on your favorite toppings. The chili and cheese are two additional upcharges, but it's a small price to pay for a piece of heaven! Check out Gray's if you are on the go and need a quick, satisfying meal. Indoor/outdoor dining is standing room only in a fast paced atmosphere. #grayspapaya #hotdoglife #upperwestside
