Infamous thanks to Seinfeld ("no soup for you!"), this much-"hyped" Hell's Kitchen soup source ladles out "savory" creations from a sidewalk stand that's "one step up from a food truck" and offers "no seating"; there are "rules" for "the line", and some find it "a little pricey" given the "small serving" size, but service is "fast" and "not so scary" as one might fear.
