Schnipper's Quality Soups

As Hale and Hearty Founders Return to Soup, New Spots Enter the Bowl | Eater NY

"Opening next month in the founders' original headquarters at 849 Lexington Avenue near East 64th Street on the Upper East Side, the new operation will follow a familiar, focused format: “We are building a soup restaurant. We sell soup and things that go well with soup,” says Andrew Schnipper. The menu will feature about six soups, rotating specials and an "alphabet option," with Andrew noting, “Listen, we’ve always loved soup — my brother just has a knack for making unbelievable soup.” He also stresses contemporary sensibilities: “Gluten wasn’t a consideration in the same way the ’90s — but soup lends itself really well to gluten-free.” As a return to a place that matters personally, he adds: “Soup in this location is personal to us — it’s how I met my wife, and my brother is literally going to be standing back where he was making soups 30 years ago.”" - Emma Orlow
