SOUP-STARVED NEW YORKERS HAVE REASON TO CELEBRATE; THE ORIGINAL SOUPMAN IS RE-OPENING HIS LANDMARK LOCATION

Soup Knows No Season As Famed New York City Location

Re-Opens on July 20, 2010

New York, NY- The Original SoupMan is pleased to announce its original location – the famed 55^th Street and 8^th Avenue soup sanctuary – will officially re-open on July 20, 2010 at 12PM.

Founded by the innovative perfectionist Al Yeganeh in 1984, this small, unassuming outpost quickly became a global legend. Now, it will once again serve its unparalleled soups to locals and tourists alike. The Original SoupMan’s recipes are rated Zagat’s best, and on opening day, and every day thereafter, from 12PM – 7PM, customers can line up for flavors that include: Jambalaya, Lobster Bisque, Crab Bisque, Mulligatawny and Chicken Vegetable.The menu will consist of Al’s most popular recipes and daily specialties that spring from his vast soup imagination, including innovations such as: Tomato and Mussel, Hungarian Beef Goulash, Mexican Nacho Corn Chowder, Danish Rabbit, Asparagus and Caviar, and many more.

Long before Seinfeld acknowledged Al’s soup superiority in a famous episode, discriminating soup lovers braved all kinds of weather and long lines for Al’s genius. The re-opened SoupMan location will offer the same combination of fresh ingredients and innovative flavors; and long-time SoupMan fans can rest assured that Al hasn’t gone trendy; the location will maintain the same humble aesthetic; the love is in the soup, not in the seats (because there aren’t any!) nor are Al’s rules changing. His famous litany of “Pick the soup you want!” “Have your money ready!” and “Move to the extreme left after ordering!” will remain strictly enforced.

The Original SoupMan is located at 259A West 55^th Street, between Broadway and 8^th Avenue and will be open seven days a week from 12PM – 7PM.

With the launch of The Original SoupMan restaurants and his new retail line of premium, gourmet, frozen soups, Al and his team are giving everyone the opportunity to experience soup as it was meant to be – at home, or away.
