I was looking for something light in the area and decided to try this place out. I got the half a sandwich and small soup combo. I went with the guacamole wrap and 10 vegetable soup, both were very good. I didn't know they provide a pitcher with water with lemon free of charge.
Decent soup. My vegetable barley soup was good. My partners' tomato basil with rice soup was significantly tastier, also less like hot lava.. Bread was a bit on the stale side but also decent. Nothing astronomical here. It certainly was hot inside with a great deal of condensation on the windows. We did not feel particularly comfortable at this location. This was my first time visiting this establishment.. May hesitate doing so again. If you go here, go for the tomato basil!
Good soup and sandwich at a decent price. I had the combo – small white bean and spinach soup with 1/2 turkey, avocado and pesto sandwich on ciabatta. The soup was good if not particularly special. The sandwich was very good, especially the pesto. At about $8, it was reasonably priced for a good lunch.
Rainy day in the xity and my friend and I were out and about in the city shopping. Wanted to have something light to eat so we stopped in.
I ordered the combo soup & wrap. Chicken noodle soup was ok. Not the best I have ever had but not bad. The chicken avocado wrap was yummy. A little pricy but then again we were in the city.
i am so in love with H & H!! the only problem is that there isn't one in San Diego!!!
this place is soup, salad and sandwiches…all fresh made …tons of choices and reasonably priced! maybe my opinion is skewed since it was freezing cold in new york and of course soup is even more amazing when you're cold…but seriously…this place is amazing!
i did the soup guy thing across the street (and his soup was amazing!…but no place to sit)…H & H also has delicious soup, but with indoor, warm and cozy seating. i sampled a few different soups…didn't check out the salads or sandwiches this time. The concept behind the salad..you buy the bowl of lettuce then take it to the counter and have them toss your lettuce with the toppings you select…super cool!!! This really needs to be a "thing" in San diego!!! can someone please do this!
so if you want a good lunch for a good price and aren't on a hunt for famous chef's in NY…this is a solid place to eat…
This place is known for its soups but the sandwiches are not bad either. I decided to by-pass soup and try two of their specials (half each) – chicken siracha and grilled chicken with walnut pesto. Found both them quite nice – tasty and light. My only critique is on meat qty which could have been slightly more. Other than that it was a nice, not too heavy lunch. Bread was good too, better when hot (a bit difficult to bite off when cold).
Been coming here (and others in the chain around Manhattan) for a long time for a relatively inexpensive lunch between shows or before one.
Like: Soup is the thing I get the most and they have so many changing flavors, I usually get to try something different all the time. Sandwiches are also really varied and delicious. Almost everything I've had I've liked (don't be afraid to ask for a sample).
Dislike: Salads are a bit of a rip-off compared to Lenny's across the street, so I usually avoid those. Prices are at the top of the 'reasonable' limit – get the medium soup, it's plenty even if it doesn't look like it. Staff can be pushy, especially in busy times.
Overall, I plan on coming here many more times simply based on a reliable, good quality (and good tasting!) product. It also helps this one is open daily, unlike other Midtown locations.
This is just a block from my office where I've worked for over 8 years. I went once or twice back in the day but did not fall in love, especially for soups when The Daily Soup and Soup Man are both right nearby and both better IMO.
But recently I discovered Hale & Hearty's Pick 5 salad deal. I've been on the Bride Diet for a few months now and have been eating salads for lunch every day, which gets really expensive. (I can stomach the lack of variety in my work cafeteria's salad bar only so often.) I love Chop't and Fresh & Co. but their salads can easily cost $12-14+ and that adds up fast. While H&H doesn't have the greatest concoctions or the biggest variety of toppings (and no kale, sadface), their Pick 5 is a pretty good deal, relatively. You get a large salad that includes carrots, cucumbers, red onions & croutons* PLUS you get to pick ANY 5 additional toppings, for $9.49 plus tax. They also do a loyalty card so you get a free salad** after buying 10. A decent deal. I cannot speak for their dressings as I stick to olive oil and lemon juice.
*which I leave out because, Bride Diet
**small w/ two-add-ins or a ready-to-go salad only
